Working with Images

Figures are essential for scientific documents. Texpile simplifies figure management with drag-and-drop support and automatic caption handling.

Adding an Image

There are three ways to add an image to your document:

1. Drag and Drop: Simply drag an image file from your computer and drop it onto the editor.
2. Paste: Paste an image directly from your clipboard into the editor.
3. Upload Button: Go to Insert > Image in the toolbar.

Resizing and Alignment

Once an image is selected, you have several control options:

• Resize: Hover over the image to reveal the resize handles. Click and drag the green bar on the right or bottom to resize the image.
• Alignment: Use the floating toolbar buttons to set how the image flows with the text (Inline, Break Text, etc.).

Captions and numbering

When you hover over an image, a Settings icon appears in the top-right corner. Click it to configure the figure environment.

From this menu, you can:

• Toggle Numbering: Enable this to automatically number your figure (e.g., “Figure 1”).
• Add Caption: Add a descriptive caption that will appear below the image.

Tip: If an image is numbered, you can reference it anywhere in your text by typing @ followed by the label.

Advanced

For more control, click Advanced in the settings menu. Here you can manually edit the LaTeX \label used for referencing (e.g., change fig:image1 to fig:results-graph).
