Choosing a destination filename
Choose a unique filename (something that no one else is likely to want to use); e.g., "ColladaDOMarchitecture" or "BezierMatrixEquation".
- Good examples: Physics-elements-relationship.jpg, DOMobjectModel.png, Category_example.png
- Bad examples: screenshot.jpg, image27.png, diagram.jpg.
Using the image
To include the image in a page, use a link of one of the basic forms:
- [[Image:yourFileName.jpg]]
- [[Image:yourFileName.jpg | thumb | yourcaption ]].
For example:
[[Image:COLLADAarchitecture.jpg | thumb | High-level COLLADA architecture ]]
