			Before you can embed images into your article you must [[Help:Managing files\|upload them]] to the LabVIEW Wiki. The easiest and most convenient way of doing this is to do it ''after'' you finish editing the text of your article.
			#While you are editing the text, just insert the wiki markup that embeds the image. For example: <nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg\|Sunflowers]]</nowiki>.
			#Save or preview your work.
			#Now look at the image link in the previewed or saved page. You will see that it is '''RED''' in colour.
			#You can now click on the link (in a new browser tab or window) which will bring you to the upload page.
			#You will notice that the '''Destination filename:''' field is already filled in. All you have to do is browse to your image.

|}

==Uploaded files==
To use an image or other file which has been [[Help:Managing files|uploaded to the wiki]], use:
*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg|alternative text]]</nowiki></code>

If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace:
*<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>

===Advanced options===
The full syntax for displaying an image is:
<code><nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{options}]]</nowiki></code>
Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
*<code>thumb</code>, <code>thumbnail</code>, or <code>frame</code>: Controls how the image is formatted
*<code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>center</code>, <code>none</code>: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
*<code>{width}px</code>: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
*<code>{caption text}</code>
The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.

===Gallery of images===
It's easy to make a [[gallery]] of thumbnails with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:
<pre>
<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>
</pre>
Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.

for example:
<pre>
<gallery>
Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
Image:Example.jpg|70px
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
</gallery>
</pre>
is formatted as:
<gallery>
Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
Image:Example.jpg|70px
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
</gallery>

==Other files==
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for [[Help:Links#External links|linking to an external web page]]. This feature has to be enabled by the admin; in the new releases of MediaWiki its disabled due to security reasons.
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</nowiki></code>
Or with different text:
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</nowiki></code>

If it is enabled on your wiki, you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the url:
*<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code>
