DSR, DSR Commands, .FIGURE DEFERRED

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]
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).
