I would like to include a full-width figure in a document prepared with the tufte-book class.

I've found that using the floatrow package, along with using the setkeys option of graphicx, breaks the tufte-book figure* float.

MWE

\documentclass{tufte-book}

\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setkeys{Gin}{width=\linewidth,totalheight=\textheight,keepaspectratio}

\begin{document}

Here is a figure that I would like to be fullwidth.

\begin{figure*}
  \includegraphics{example-image-a}
\end{figure*}

\end{document}

Actual output enter image description here

Desired output enter image description here

  • I'm not surprised floatrow is incompatible with tufte, as both redefine the figure and figure* environments. If you comment it out, the MWE works fine.

  • Yes. Although not shown in the MWE, I use floatrow elsewhere to declare a new floating enviornment. Ideally, I'd be able to keep using floatrow to declare my floating environment, but without floatrow impacting tufte's figure*

  • You can use the newfloat and float packages to create new floating environments without changing figure and table (just don't use the package options with float).

  • Thanks, if no other solutions are forthcoming, I will likely resort to this solution.

    The newfloat package seems to be adapted to the tufte document class, at least this is what I just found in the dtx file: "If the \class{tufte} document class is loaded, |\@tufte@float| and |\end@tufte@float| will be used instead of |\@float|, |\end@float|, |\@dblfloat|, and |\end@dblfloat|." (But I couldn't find anything about tufte in the newfloat manual.)

It works for me both with pdf latex and lualatex

\documentclass{tufte-book}

\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\setkeys{Gin}{width=\textwidth+\marginparsep+\marginparwidth,totalheight=\textheight,keepaspectratio}

\usepackage{kantlipsum}

\begin{document}

Here is a figure that I would like to be fullwidth.

\begin{figure*}
\includegraphics{example-image-a}
\end{figure*}

\kant[1]
\end{document}

It does not solve the conflict but is a workaround. The tufte class it is not maintained since 2015.
