The sidecap Package

Documentation sidecap
Categories figures
Description

The sidecap package allows you place the caption for a figure or table on either the left side or the right side. See also hvfloat.

Options
\usepackage{sidecap}
Examples
\begin{SCfigure}[5][tb]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=2in]{sample}
  \caption{The dependence of stopping condition on steps in a two-dimensional random
  walk as a function of the total number of steps taken
  before encountering an overlap of atoms or bonds.}
  \label{fig:stopping}
\end{SCfigure}

\lipsum[1-2]

The first optional parameter ([5] in the example) describes the space to reserve for the caption. A large value (e.g., 50) reserves the maximum width that is possible.
