Abstract
LaTeX has the provision for inserting a figure from an external file in different formats. In this Hour, the insertion of external figures in different forms are discussed, such as simple figures, side-by-side figures, sub-numbering a group of figures, figure wrapped by texts, rotated figure, mathematical notations in figure, figure in table, figure in multi-column document, figures at the end of a document, etc.

Notes
- 1.
The advantage of using the \includegraphics[ ]{ } command for inserting figures from external files is that a figure in any format can be inserted without making any change in the LaTeX input file.
- 2.
- 3.
The wrapfigure environment may not work properly inside other environments. Moreover, the environment should be put at the top of a paragraph, or between two words where a line break exists.
- 4.
If the column width of a multi-column document is not sufficient to accommodate a figure in it, the figure* environment may be used for inserting the figure over the entire width of the page.
