DSR, DSR Commands, .FIGURE

The .FIGURE command leaves room on a page for you to insert a
figure later. You specify the number of blank lines you need, and
DSR leaves that amount of space on the current page if there is
enough room.
If there is not enough room on the current page, DSR ends the
page immediately and then puts the blank lines at the top of the
next page.
Format
.FIGURE [n]
Abreviated format
.FG [n]
n
The number of blank lines needed. Values of 0 or less are not
valid and n cannot exceed the number of lines of text allowed
on a page (this would be the page-length value associated with
the .PAGE SIZE command minus any header lines, any forced blank
spaces after the header information, and any bottom of the page
information specified by .LAYOUT 1, .LAYOUT 2, or .LAYOUT 3).
