Responsive figures for ACM TAPS submission. UPDATE: While this script theoretically works, the TAPS system is actually not compatible with it (despite it being legitimate Latex code).

When submitting academic articles to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), one now needs to provide a LaTex document that can be compiled into both single-column HTML and two-column PDF.

This snippet creates a responsive figure that is compatible with both formats. For the HTML, this snippet creates a figure around which the rest of the text flows on the left-hand side, using the wrapfig package. For the PDF, this snippet chooses the standard figure environment.

Integrate with:

\begin{responsivefig}{r}{0.5\textwidth}
  %\centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.95\linewidth]{figures/organisation.pdf}
  \caption{Overview of our analysis methodology.}
    \label{fig:method_flow}
\end{responsivefig}
