| ==Before Inserting an Image into a Chapter, You Must First Upload the Image on the WikiDoc Server==
| | #REDIRECT [[Help:Images]] |
| Images can be ''inserted'' into a WikiDoc page only if they have been uploaded onto the WikiDoc server (the computer that serves up all the pages you view). If the images you want to insert are not yet on the server, you can add them (a process called "uploading" them) onto the server. To reach the upload page, you can either click [[Special:Upload|'''here''']] or search WikiDoc for Special:Upload. This page has all of the details for adding or uploading the image to the server.
| |
| | |
| On the Upload file page you will see the following two boxes:
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Upload-file.jpg]]
| |
| | |
| Where it says "Source file name:" you will click on the gray button "browse" and find the file on your computer's hard drive that you want to add to WikiDoc.
| |
| | |
| Where it says "Destination file name:" you will simply type in the name you want the image to have on WikiDoc. Please use a name that is descriptive of the image so that it will be found and cataloged by search engines. This point must be stressed, name the file similar to a search criteria that you would use to find that image using a search engine's image function.
| |
| | |
| Next, click on the button that says "Upload file".
| |
| | |
| Next, the uploaded image will appear. '''''Hint:''''' '''copy the name of the file so that you can insert it on the WikiDoc page you would like.'''
| |
| | |
| Once you or anyone else has added an image to the server, that image can then be inserted on an any number of pages.
| |
| | |
| You can find the file names of the images that have been uploaded to WikiDoc on the [[Special:Imagelist|Image file list]]. You will need to know the file name of the image to insert the image.
| |
| | |
| You can see the images that have been uploaded to WikiDoc on the [[Special:Newimages|Gallery of new images]]
| |
| | |
| ==Basic Instructions for Inserting Images onto a WikiDoc Page==
| |
| Only images that have been uploaded to Wiki doc can be used. To upload images, use the [[Special:Upload|upload page]].
| |
| | |
| ===Insert the Image Code===
| |
| | |
| Images are placed on a page by typing a line of image code along with the other text. As with the typing of text, this is done in the editing window of the page being edited. Selecting the ''edit this page'' tab at the top of the page accesses the editing panel. Sign-on first so that your work will be credited to you in the record keeping.
| |
| | |
| Before placing the code, first consider the best place for the image. This usually means thinking about how the text will look when it wraps. For example, sometimes the work looks best when the image is level with the start of a section. If you want it to start there, then make an empty line immediately ''under'' the heading or immediately ''above'' it, depending on which you think looks best, and type the image code, (given later). The extra line will be ignored apart from the production of an image.
| |
| | |
| Press the ''Show preview'' button at the bottom of the editing window and wait for the system to display the reformatted page. If the image was placed on the ''left'' or the ''right'' then the text will be seen to wrap around the image from the very top of the section. If the ''center'' was selected, (or ''none''), then the text ''cannot'' wrap, and the text will move to a point below the image. If the result is not as expected, then the text can be changed as often as necessary, until it is right. When the work ''is'' right, then press the ''Save page'' button at the bottom of the page.
| |
| | |
| Most images on the Wiki server are simply too big to display in their full sizes. In nearly every case an image reduction will be needed. The server also expects to know ''where'' to place the image, as well as what kind of ''frame'' is required. Does it need a ''caption''? With these common requirements in mind, and to save the user much valuable time, it is proposed to go straight onto the ''recommended'' format; the one having ''all'' of the basic options in it. A selection of common examples using the recommended syntax is given in the "Examples" section below.

| ==More Detailed Instructions for Inserting Images and its Syntax==
| |
| ===Type===
| |
| *"thumbnail" or "thumb": Image is scaled down to a standard, user specified width, by default 180 pixels, and a box is added around the image. If a caption is written, it is shown below the image. Image defaults to placement on the 'right' unless overridden with the 'Location' attribute (see above).
| |
| *"frame": Original image size is preserved, and a box is added around the image. If a caption is written, it is shown below the image.
| |
| *(nothing specified): Original image size is preserved, no border is added around the image. If a caption is written, it is '''not''' shown.
| |
| *"border": Same as if nothing is specified, but a border is added around the image.
| |
| | |
| === Location===
| |
| *"right": Image including its box is placed on the right side of the page. The article text that follows the image flows around the image.
| |
| *"left": Image including its box is placed on the left side of the page. The article text that follows the image flows around the image.
| |
| *"center": Image including its box is placed in the center of the page. The article text that follows the image is placed below the image.
| |
| *"none": Image including its box is placed on the left side of the page. The article text that follows the image is placed below the image.
| |
| | |
| ===Size===
| |
| *"100px": Scales the image down to make it 100 pixels wide. Replace any number for 100. If you specify "thumbnail" and a value here, this value will take precedent. If the image is already smaller than your specified value, the image stays at its size.
| |
| *"100x200px": Scales the image to be no wider than 100 pixels and no higher than 200 pixels. Image will keep its original aspect ratio
| |
| | |
| ===Caption===
| |
| Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is assumed to be caption text.
| |
| | |
| ==New advanced syntax for inserting images==
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Anatomy]]The new syntax is backward compatible, so articles don't have to be changed.
| |
| In the syntax <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Image:''file name''|''options''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt> (e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Anatomy]]</nowiki></tt> shown in the left), several options can be set when including an image. Those affect the placing of the image, its size or the way the image will be presented. The options are <tt>right</tt>, <tt>left</tt>, <tt>center</tt>, <tt>none</tt>, <tt>''size''px</tt>, <tt>thumbnail</tt> (<tt>thumb</tt>), <tt>frame</tt>, and <tt>''alternate (caption) text''</tt>.{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|Anatomy|200px|right|Human Body]]
| |
| The options can be combined, and vertical bars ("|") are used to separate options from each other. The options can be put in any order. An unknown option is taken as the caption text, but this seems to appear only if <tt>thumbnail</tt> is specified. If there are two or more unknown options, the last one upstages the rest: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|Anatomy|200px|right|Human Body]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| Here is the description of the options other than the caption text:
| |
| | |
| ; <tt>right</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|70px|]]The image is right-aligned, and text floats to the left of the image: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).{{clr}}
| |
| ; <tt>left</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|left|70px|]]The image is left aligned, and text floats to the right of the image: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|left|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the left).{{clr}}
| |
| ; <tt>center</tt> : The image is centered, and...[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|center|70px|]]the text following the image starts below it: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|center|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown above).{{clr}}
| |
| ; <tt>none</tt> : The image is put at the left, and...[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|70px|]]the text following does not float to the right (or to the left, obviously), and starts below it: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown above).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| :: '''Notes:'''{{clr}}
| |
| ::[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|right|center|left|70px|]]The above four options are incompatible. When used combined, the last one overrides the rest: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|right|center|left|70px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the left).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| ::[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|70px|right]]What is between the last vertical bar and the closing brackets ("]]"), void or not, is taken as the last option, and works as usual. For instance, when the last option is <tt>right</tt>, the image is right-aligned, and text floats to the left: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|70px|right]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| ::[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is not displayed.|70px|left|]][[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is displayed.|70px|right]]In particular, if the last option is the void text (that is, if there is nothing between the last vertical bar and the closing brackets), the caption is not displayed: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is not displayed.|70px|left|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the left) and <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is displayed.|70px|right]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| ; <tt>''size''px</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|]]This option renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|]]</nowiki></tt> shown on the right). Height is computed to keep [[En:aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] (i.e. the shape of the image){{clr}}
| |
| | |
| :: '''Notes:'''{{clr}}
| |
| ::Specifying a size does not just change the apparent image size using HTML; it actually generates a resized version of the image on the fly and links to it appropriately. This happens whether or not you use '''size''' in conjunction with '''thumb'''.''
| |
| | |
| ::This means the server does all the work of changing the image size, not the web browser of the user. By having the server do all the work means faster downloading of pages. It also means that larger images can be stored on the server without any slowdown by the browser (especially on dial up telephone lines.) Only the data for the actual size on the page is transmitted.
| |
| | |
| ::From [[m:MediaWiki 1.5|MediaWiki 1.5]] the default thumbnail width can be set in the preferences, so it is recommended ''not'' to specify "px", in order to respect the users' preferences (unless, for a special reason, a specific size is required regardless of preferences, or a size is specified outside the range of widths 120–300px that can be set in the preferences).
| |
| | |
| :: If you specify a "frame" option the image will not be scaled, and no size specifiers will be in the HTML. The image will be rendered at full size{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| :: [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|80px]]When there are two or more "size" options, only the last one is valid: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|80px]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| ; <tt>thumbnail</tt>, <tt>thumb</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumbnail|left|100px|]][[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|Anatomy]]The <tt>thumbnail</tt> (<tt>thumb</tt>) option generates a [[En:thumbnail|thumbnail]] image. It is automatically resized when the "size" attribute is not specified. Without the options <tt>left</tt>, <tt>center</tt>, and <tt>none</tt>, the image is normally on the right. If the image has a caption text, it is displayed in the lower margin. E.g. <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumbnail|left|100px|]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the left) and <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|Anatomy]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right). ''Note: thumbnail (thumb) cannot be used in lists.''
| |
| {{clr}}
| |
| | |
| <!-- The following paragraph is supposed to show how one can display a 10 by 10 pixel image as 100 by 100, and that clicking on "enlarge" actually shows it smaller (in the original size). But it doesn't seem to work--the image is displayed 10 by 10. -->
| |
| [[Image:tst.jpg|right|thumb|100px|This is a globe, and take a look at it in [[Media:tst.jpg|the actual size]].]]An "enlarge"-icon is put also in the lower margin of the thumbnail. Both the image itself and the icon link to the image description page with the image in its actual size. The icon shows the link title "Enlarge" in its hoverbox, even in cases where this term does not apply, because it leads from the enlarged image to the one with the actual size. E.g. <tt><nowiki>[[Image:tst.jpg|right|thumb|100px|This is a puzzle, and take a look at it in [[Media:tst.jpg|the actual size]].]]</nowiki></tt> (shown on the right).{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| ; <tt>frame</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|Anatomy]]With this option, the embedded image is shown with its actual size enclosed by a frame, regardless of the "thumb" or "size" attribute, and the caption, if any, is visible in the frame. Without the options <tt>left</tt>, <tt>center</tt>, and <tt>none</tt>, the image is normally on the right: <tt><nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|Anatomy]]</nowiki></tt>.{{clr}}
| |
| | |
| With none of the options other than <tt>''size''px</tt> and <tt>''alternate (caption) text''</tt>, an embedded image is rendered inline.

| |
| | |
| The option <tt>none</tt> can be used to have thumbnails without left- or right-alignment. This is probably most useful for [[Wikipedia:How to use tables|tables]]. This is an example:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| !colspan=3| How to use <tt>none</tt>
| |

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==Thumbnail with caption text underneath that has one or more links==
| |
| | |
| It is also possible to include links in the caption text, e.g.:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|thumbnail|This is the [[Palace of Westminster]] in London]]</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|thumbnail|This is a picture of the [[humanbody]] on wikidoc]]
| |
| | |
| <br style="clear:both;"/>
| |
| | |
| Just make sure the number of opening and closing square brackets are right. One extra or missing would mean the entire image syntax line would not work.
| |
| | |
| ==Additional caption formatting options==
| |
| | |
| Additional caption formatting options are possible.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|thumbnail|<div align="center">This is <span style="color: green">the </span><br /> [[Palace of Westminster]]<br /> '''in <span style="color: red">London</span>'''</div>]]
| |
| </nowiki>
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|thumbnail|<div align="center">This is <span style="color: green">the </span><br /> [[Palace of Westminster]]<br /> '''in <span style="color: red">London</span>'''</div>]]
| |
| | |
| <br clear="right" />
| |
| All of the normal text formatting options work.

| ==How Do I Keep All The Text From Floating Around The Image? How Can I Get The Text To Begin Again Below the Image? Cancelling The Floating-Around-Image Mode==
| |
| | |
| After having had an image floating next to text, putting further text below it and again using the full width can be done with the following markup. This blocks an image from appearing next to the material following this markup, possibly due to aesthetic reasons or a change in topics.
| |
| | |
| : '''<nowiki><br style="clear:both" /></nowiki>'''
| |
| | |
| For legacy <tt>align="right"</tt> (etc.) floating this
| |
| isn't good enough; legacy browsers would ignore inline
| |
| CSS. To cancel floating under all conditions the
| |
| following markup (valid XHTML 1.0 transitional) works:
| |
| | |
| : '''<nowiki><br clear="all" /></nowiki>'''
| |
| | |
| The same code can be issued by using template
| |
| '''<nowiki>{{Clr}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki><br clear="left"/></nowiki>'''
| |
| in certain namespaces (En, meta).
| |
| | |
| ==How Do I Align the Gallery to the right or left and have text float around it?==
| |
| '''To achieve the format below:'''
| |
| <gallery
| |
| align="right"
| |
| >
| |
| Image:Arteriole-normal.jpg|Normal arteriole
| |
| Image:Arteriole-hypertensive.jpg|Hypertensive arteriole with wall thickening and myocyte hypertrophy
| |
| Image:Arteriole-hcm.jpg|Arteriole in HCM patient with periarteriole fibrosis and thicknening
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| Compared to normal arterioles on the left, the arterioles from a patient with hyertension (middle) show moderate periarteriolar thickening and fibrosis. Shown on the right is a patient with HCM in which there is even more signficant periarteriolar thickening and fibrosis. This thickening of the wall of the intramyocardial arterioles leads to an increased wall/lumen ratio, subendocardial ischemia and impaired coronary flow reserve.
| |
| {{clr}}
| |
| | |
| Use this code:
| |
| <nowiki><gallery
| |
| align="right"
| |
| >
| |
| Image:Arteriole-normal.jpg|Normal arteriole
| |
| Image:Arteriole-hypertensive.jpg|Hypertensive arteriole with wall thickening and myocyte hypertrophy
| |
| Image:Arteriole-hcm.jpg|Arteriole in HCM patient with periarteriole fibrosis and thicknening

| ==Linking To A Page That Has A Detailed Description Of The Image==
| |
| | |
| If you want to make a link to the description page for an image, use a leading colon before "image:" in an intra-wiki link, like this: <nowiki>[[:image:humanbody.jpg|humanbody]]</nowiki> which yields: [[:image:humanbody.jpg|humanbody]]
