Basically, the Image widget should have configurable position. If you read
the widgets.py code you can see that all widgets extend a common widget
and that parent widget has coordinates. But this coordinates is not
respected and not implemented now. It is bit tricky to place the image
left, right, middle of the page. The logic for this should take the image
dimensions into consideration.

Once this is done, next step is to get the image "inline" with paragraph.

Anyway first get familiar with the code. then we will discuss how to proceed.

And welcome to the project!. If you have a savannah user Id, pass it to me
or raise a  membership request to pypdflib there itself.
