Template:Figures
Example of the template text
Formatting figures
Any photograph, map, diagram, or handout that is embedded in your wiki counts as a figure. Tables should be handled differently.
Adding numbered captions to your figures can simplify your writing. You can refer a reader to a picture as simply as this: (Fig 1). No need to say see below or to the right of this text, particularly when the figure may move depending on the window size in which the page is viewed. So, I suggest captions like this: Figure 1. Enough detail following the figure number to orient the reader to the image. Figure captions do not work well in the Rich Text editor, so it may be worth turning that off to edit captions. The following image and caption was added to this page using this syntax:[[Image:RainbowHypothesis.jpg|Figure 1: Students generating hypotheses|thumb]]
Once changes have been made, you should delete the text ''{{Figures}}''from your page.
