Figure Management

Figczar is a pandoc filter that adds power to pandoc’s ability to display figures in LaTeX documents. It handles figure wrapping, multi-column figures, and label-based references.

Figure labels

Refer to figures by LaTeX label instead of by number, making reordering easy:

![\label{abstract}Fig. \ref{abstract}: Example figure](fig/example_figure.png)

Refer to figures elsewhere with \ref{label}.

Wrapfig

Wrap figures using the LaTeX wrapfig package by appending {wrap=X}:

![\label{myfigure}Fig \ref{myfigure}. Fig Title](fig/figure.pdf){wrap=82mm}

Specify the width in any LaTeX-compatible format.

Full-width figures

Use {fullwidth=t} to create a \figure* environment, making figures span columns in multi-column templates:

![\label{myfigure2}Fig \ref{myfigure2}. Fig 2 Title](fig/figure2.pdf){fullwidth=t}

Positioning options

• h — here: Place where the figure environment is, if there’s room
• t — top: Place at the top of a page
• b — bottom: Place at the bottom of a page
• p — page: Place on a page containing only floats
• ! — force: Ignore parameters for float placement

Example: {fullwidth=b} places a full-width figure at the bottom.
