How to wrap text around a subfigure?

Question

I would like to align 3 subfigures vertically (all on top of each other), and then have these on the right side of the page with text wrapping around them. I know how to use wrapfig for a single figure and subcaption and subfigure to get the 3 vertical figures, but I can't seem to put the them together.

Here is what I currently have for the subfigure alignment:

\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx,color,float,amssymb,amsmath}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage[font=small]{caption, subcaption}

\begin{document}

some text

\begin{figure}
\hfill\begin{minipage}[c][11cm][t]{.5\textwidth}
    \vspace*{\fill}
    \centering\captionsetup[subfigure]{justification=centering}
    \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{example-image-a}
    \subcaption{}
    \label{fig:5a}\par\vfill
    \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{example-image-b}
    \subcaption{}
    \label{fig:5b}
    \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{example-image-c}
    \subcaption{}
    \label{fig:5c}
\end{minipage}
\caption{subfigure}\label{fig:5}
\end{figure}

some text 
\end{document}

Can anyone help figure out a way to wrap the text around this figure environment? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

I suppose that you like to have something like this:

For this you need to use wrapfigure environment:

\documentclass[11pt,letterhead]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{color,float,amssymb,amsmath}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage[font=small]{caption, subcaption}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
    \lipsum[1]
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{.5\textwidth}
    \begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
    \centering\captionsetup[subfigure]{justification=centering}
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{image1}
    \subcaption{}
    \label{fig:5a}\par\vfill
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{image2}
    \subcaption{}
    \label{fig:5b}
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{image3}
    \subcaption{}
    \label{fig:5c}
\end{minipage}
\caption{Figure}\label{fig:5}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}

Note: we haven't your original picture, so in the future similar cases please use \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} in your preamble :)

Edit:
code is now slightly changed (added is minipage) according to your wish expressed in comment below

Answer 2

You can use the following commands without using the figure enviroment:

\wrapr{<text vertical adjustment>}{<number of lines>}{<image width>}{<text vertical adjustment>}{image}{text}

for placing the image on the right side or

\wrapl{<text vertical adjustment>}{<number of lines>}{<image width>}{<text vertical adjustment>}{image}{text}

for the left side of the document.

\documentclass[11pt,letterhead]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx,color,float,amssymb,amsmath}
\usepackage{pdfpages,lipsum}
\usepackage{wrapfig,tikz}
\usepackage[font=small]{caption, subcaption}


\newenvironment{WrapText1}[3][r]
{\wrapfigure[#2]{#1}{#3}}
{\endwrapfigure}
\newenvironment{WrapText2}[3][l]
{\wrapfigure[#2]{#1}{#3}}
{\endwrapfigure}
\newcommand{\wrapr}[6]{
\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}\mbox{}\\
\vspace{#1}
\begin{WrapText1}{#2}{#3}
\vspace{#4}#5\end{WrapText1}#6
\end{minipage}}

\newcommand{\wrapl}[6]{
\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}\mbox{}\\
\vspace{#1}
\begin{WrapText2}{#2}{#3}
\vspace{#4}#5\end{WrapText2}#6
\end{minipage}}
