  11. A figure is a representation or  illustration.  The \figure markup can leave
  12. space for a figure,  number it, print the figure  title, and ensure that the
  13. title gets  placed in the contents.   The figure  markup has two parameters:
  14. markup and the title of the figure.
  15.     The "markup"  can be a  \verticalspace markup, \fullpage,  \halfpage, or
  16. text such  as a table, etc.   The "title"  is the title of  the figure which
  17. will print at the bottom of the figure and in the table of contents.
  18.     If you  want a figure  on an entire  page, enter \fullpage  as the first
  19. parameter.  If  you want a figure to fill half  of the page, enter \halfpage
  20. as the first parameter.
  21.

  23. If you  want to use  \asisbegin, it  must go outside  of the  figure and the
  24. title cannot be more than one line long.

  95.     π|Notes:π%
  96.  
  97. By default, text "floated" is text that  is moved in front of a figure.  The
  98. figure is moved  to the top of the  current page if there is  room left.  If
  99. not enough room remains,  then the figure is printed at  the top of the next
  100. page.  To disable this floating process, refer to the \figureformat markup.
  101.     For  both \halfpage  and  \fullpage,  the figure  title  is  included in
  102. determining how much space to leave.
  103.     By default, each new \part will start numbering figures over again at 1.
  104. Use \setfigurenumber to reset the figurenumber outside of parts.
  105.     When figures  are using the  default "float" method  of placing figures,
  106. you  cannot  use \twocolumns  or  \threecolumns  in parameter  1.     If you
  107. are using  the \nofloat  option specified in  \figureformat you  may use the
  108. multiple column specifications.
  109.     Use the \figureformat markup to modify the figure style.
  110.     You can not use \settabs within \figure.
