<para>
If <sgmltag class="attribute">Float</sgmltag> has the value 1 (true), then the
processing system is free to move the figure to a convenient location.
(Where convenient location may be described in the style sheet or may
be application dependent.) A value of 0 (false) indicates that the
figure should be placed precisely where it occurs in the flow.

<para>
<sgmltag class="attribute">Label</sgmltag> specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes.
</para>
<para>
Generally, an explicit <sgmltag class="attribute">Label</sgmltag> attribute is
used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label
automatically. If present, the <sgmltag class="attribute">Label</sgmltag> 
is normative; it will used even
if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.

<para>
If <sgmltag class="attribute">Pgwide</sgmltag> has the value 0 (false), then the
<sgmltag>InformalFigure</sgmltag> is rendered in the current text flow (with flow
column width). A value of 1 (true) specifies that the figure should be
rendered across the full text page.
