Manipulating Images
• For the best information about controlling the placement and sizes of images, look to the following link:
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial
• More syntax help here:• http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images
• Samples of controlling images follow on next two slides…
Medical Genetics 421 (2012) 14
Left side image, thumbnail size
• [[File:SampleImageFile.png|thumb|left|The figure legend text.]]
• You can replace “left” with “center” or “right”• You can make hyperlinks within the legend
using the normal wiki syntax.
Medical Genetics 421 (2012) 15
Reducing image size
• If you do not want the standard thumbnail size, you can control it more precisely…– [[File:SampleFileName.png|thumb|center|
400px|Figure legend text goes here.]]• This make the image appear at the center of
the screen with a width of 400 pixels. Adjust the width as you desire.
– [[File:SampleFIleName.png|thumb|center|x60px|Figure legend text goes here.]]• The “x60px” specifies height of 60 pixels
