Template:Figure/doc

Usage

This template is designed to allow for the convenient captioning and positioning of figures.

Parameters

image – the name of the image for the figure (i.e. figure_x.png)
width – the desired width of the figure. Default is 400px, which is the largest size compatable with dynamic layout "Layout 2".
position – the desired positioning of the figure. Options are "left", "right", "center", and "absolute". "Left" and "right" and float the figure to the appropriate side of the text, allowing the text to flow around the figure; "center" positions the ifigure in the center of the text, but breaks the flow of the text. "Absolute" allows for some more advanced positioning, but care is required since this removes the figure completely from the flow of the text, which could cause issues with the figure overlapping and covering bits of text or other figures.
figuretop – only used in "absolute" positioning. The distance to the top of the figure from the top of the containing block.
figureleft – only used in "absolute" positioning. The distance to the left of the figure from the left of the containing block.
topcaption – used to add a caption to the top of the figure image.
bottomcaption – used to add a caption to the bottom of the figure image.
caption – used to position a caption somewhere within the figure image.
top – the position from the top of the figure image to the top of the caption text.
left – the position from the left of the figure image to the left of the caption text.
captionwidth – width of the caption text. Currently only used with "caption".

tools, such as chisels, spokeshaves, planes,

Rules.—For all-round purposes a 2-ft. 
four-fold boxwood rule, with or without a 
slide rule (Fig. 1), is best. Rules are made 
in great variety, but the average worker's 
requirements will be best met by a simple one.
