DSR, DSR Commands, .FIGURE

 *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    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]

  1 - Parameter

 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).

  2 - Default

    .FIGURE 1
