Foreground, To Background.
Anchoring: Anchor refers to the reference point for the images like page, paragraph or a character or
frame. An image always has an anchor point to decide how image would hold on to that document.
This positioning of image can have anchored to move with the text or fix the position of image on
page.
Alignment: It allows the vertical or horizontal placement of the image with respect to its anchor.
Text Wrapping: Text wrapping refers to the relation of graphics to surrounding text which may
wraparound the graphic on one or both sides or be overprinted behind or in front of the graphic.
