<Para>
You may want to remove a graphic from the document flow, placing
it in a separate window for viewing or manipulation (scaling).
Such a graphic is known as a "detached" graphic.
Some of the reasons you may want to detach a graphic include:
</para>

Keeping a graphic displayed allows you to reference it as

Detaching a graphic provides a way to compare images
in the same or different sections.

<para>
By detaching a graphic that is very large or that simply extends
beyond the width of your default Reading window size,
you can scale the graphic image without having to
resize the Reading window.

Since the placement of some large graphics
can break up the text flow significantly,
you can improve the readability of a section
by detaching them.

You can easily manipulate and manage detached graphics. Specifically,
you can:
