DSR, DSR Commands, .FIGURE DEFERRED

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

    The .FIGURE DEFERRED 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, .FIGURE DEFERRED
    first adds enough text to complete the page and then puts the
    required number of blank lines at the top of the next page.

    Format

      .FIGURE DEFERRED  [n]

    Abreviated format

      .FGD  [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 DEFERRED 1
