How to Insert Figures

There are two main methods to insert a figure into an article.

Method 1 - Figures Macro (Preferred)

- Use when you want to insert a single or multiple images that are large and require automatic resizing to create a thumbnail

Step 1 - Attach figures/images to the page

- Add your figures/images to the page using the Add drop down. Select Attachments.

Step 2 - Use the figures macro

- Type the following in the body of your article

{figures:imagename1.jpg,imagename2.jpg}

- Separate multiple figures with a comma

The figures with be automatically formatted into thumbnail images and clicking on the thumbnail will load a popup slideshow gallery of the larger figures. The comment added to the figure when attached to the page will be shown as the figure legend. This creates a much nicer, standardized presentation for the figures.

Example

Method 2 - Insert/Edit Image Icon

- Use when you want to insert a single image into the body of your article that does not require a larger image or figure legend.

Step 1 - Attach the figures/images to the page

- Select the Insert/Edit Image icon in the Rich Text editor

- Attach figures/images to the page

Step 2 - Select and Insert image

- Select image that you want to insert into the text
