/* 
 * Wrap text around images:
 * Place images within a Textflow
 *
 * Case 1:
 * Place an image at a fixed position on the page. Use the "matchbox" option of
 * fit_image() to define the matchbox rectangle. Use the "usematchbox" option of
 * fit_textflow() to wrap the text around the matchbox rectangle for the image.
 * Case 2:
 * Place an image left-aligned and an image right-aligned at defined positions
 * within the Textflow. Use the "matchbox" option of fit_image() to define the
 * matchbox rectangle of the image. Use specific return values of fit_textflow()
 * for indicating the text line for the image to be placed.
 * Case 3:
 * To place some small icons at the beginning of some text lines in a 
 * Textflow use the inline options "matchbox" and "matchbox end" within the 
 * Textflow as well as the info_matchbox() function to retrieve the matchbox
 * instances and dimensions. 
 * Case 4: 
 * Place some images at certain text positions within a Textflow by using the 
 * "matchbox" and "matchbox end" inline options when placing the Textflow for
 * indicating the image positions.
 * Case 5: 
 * Place an image which covers several lines of text at a certain text position
 * within a Textflow. Use the "matchbox" and "matchbox end" inline options when
 * placing the Textflow for indicating the image position. Use the
 * "createwrapbox" option to indicate that the matchbox will be inserted as wrap
 * box in the Textflow for the text to wrap around.
 *
 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 10
