Hello,

I am using the boxedminipage package. Here is a MWE of what I am trying to do.

As you can notice, it results in a ``Float(s) lost'' error. It is due to the draw. Anyway, I simply want to put both this draw and a given text in a boxedminipage environment. How can I manage to do this?

Any help would me much appreciated.

[…] Here is a MWE of what I am trying to do. […]

This is not an MWE because it contains packages and lines of code which are completely irrelevant for the problem.

It's enough to swap the figure and the boxedminipage environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \begin{boxedminipage}
    % figure contents
  \end{boxedminipage}
\end{figure}

Though it works, I think the framed package is the better alternative.

The code for the figure could be cropped considerably if it is directly drawn with pstricks. Its capabilities are nowhere near good supported by LaTeXDraw.


Best regards

Thanks. It worked. I gave such a NMWE because I was not able to find where my error was coming from.

If you know the purpose of certain packages, you can estimate which of them are unnecessary.

I think the pstricks code still can be done more elegant.

[latexforever]

I think the pstricks code still can be done more elegant.

I do agree with you, but I do not know PsTricks at the moment. It would be clearly better, and the difference would be significant.

Anyway, whatever the method, as I have redefined a example environment, I have a problem when putting this between \begin{exemple}\end{exemple} instructions. What can I do? The ``example title'' (as it would be for ``Definition'') is in the bottom of the picture.

Do you have any idea about this? Thanks.
