floatrow | Setup for Captions in Margins beside Figures

[abclatex]

Hi guys,

I want to use captions beside figures (at margin) by floatrow. But the following codes only work in the even page (image 2) and not in the odd page (image 1). How to fix this problem?

codes:

Code: Select all  •  Open in writeLaTeX

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{book}

% page layout
\usepackage[%
    left=2cm,
    right=7cm,
    top=2cm,
    bottom=2cm,
    textheight=25cm,
    textwidth=11cm,
    marginparsep=1cm,
    marginparwidth=5cm
    ]{geometry}

% Language settings
\usepackage[german,french]{babel}

% figures and the like:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{fig/}}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{name={Figure.}}
\captionsetup{font={scriptsize,singlespacing},justification=RaggedRight,skip=2pt}
\usepackage{ifoddpage}
%or: \usepackage[strict]{changepage}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\usepackage{floatrow}
\floatsetup[widefigure]{margins=hangleft,capposition=beside,capbesideposition={top,left},floatwidth=\textwidth}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure*}
\includegraphics[width=11cm]{1.3.jpg}
\caption{Today, four necktie knots are in widespread use. They are the four-in-hand knot, the half-Windsor knot, the Windsor knot and the Pratt knot. The first three are classic necktie knots that have been used for a long time. The Pratt knot is a more recent necktie knot that was introduced to the public in 1989.}\label{fig:example}
\end{figure*}

Below shows a comparison table of the four necktie knots, together with the bow tie. It helps you find the answer to the first question that may come up in your mind -- Which necktie knots do I need? Click the links on the left to see the instructions on tying a certain knot.

I try to revise such codes as

Code: Select all  •  Open in writeLaTeX

\usepackage{floatrow}
\floatsetup[widefigure]{margins=hangleft,capposition=beside,capbesideposition={top,left},floatwidth=\textwidth}

and not succeed right now.

If you have any advice, please let me know.

Thanks!

Still unsolved.
