The Idea of the Bounding Box is the key to
understanding graphical displays in LATEX, or any
derivative (i.e. pdfTEX).The box will set the
size displayed and control what the viewport
(cropped image) will access.

If you substitute Tim.jpg with any picture, in
the above example, you will see an initial full
image, and a secondary (2nd page probably) of
the cropped image of the top portion of the
image. The use of \beginfigure will allow the
technical writer (you) to indirectly refer to a
previously defined figure by number every time
a \beginfigure is encountered LATEX
automatically increments the index of the
figure. Additionally, the figure reference allows
for arbitrary page referencing by employing the
\labelreference info to tag the graphic. This
allows reference by illustrated by the
graphic \refreference info -- name refered.

Floating placement of Graphics
LATEXs automated placement of figures will place
according to accepted default behavior topnumbe
r The max of float figures at the top of page
(default 2). bottomnumber The max of float
figures at the bottom page (default
1). totalnumber The max of float figures on any
page (default 3).

Wide Figures

• 1 sided documents
• The following code uses this narrow environment
  to make the figure extend 1 inch into the left
  margin
• \beginfigure
• \beginnarrow-1in0in
• \includegraphicswidth\linewidthwide
• \captionThis is a wide figure
• \endnarrow
• \endfigure
