Scibus provides image text flow feature. This is how your text flows
naturally around image like you see in many publications. This is
reached by editing boundaries (Scribus calls it Contour Line) of an image. The text will automatically flow, following your boundaries form. Follow this example.
1. Create Text Boxes
To see this feature well, create two columns.
2. Create Image Frame
Place an image frame on center of two columns. Let the image as is for now. See picture below.
3. Edit Boundaries
Press
F2 > Shape > Edit Contour Line > click Edit button > click
edit blue lines around image. You may add more nodes by using Add Nodes
button. See picture below.
4. Finishing
Edit and edit the boundaries (Contour Line) so the text will flow flawlessly following your image form. Don't forget to click
End Editing button. See this final result.
5. Export
After you finish all tasks, see the result by exporting it to PDF. My result will be like this.
