Figures

Storing Figures

Store figures at their best resolution in a folder on Google Drive. Set sharing to “Anyone with the link can download.”

Adding a Figure to Your Publication

To insert a figure, add the following snippet directly into your Google Doc. The src must be a Google Drive link with “Anyone with the link can download” permissions:

:::media
:type: image
:src: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BPTvHbcf0A-bh0LCxpgp3iu6gvyG4xDX
:id: important-schematic

A caption
:::

How it renders in The Stacks drafting interface

Once imported, the snippet is parsed into MyST figure syntax:

::::::figure{#important-schematic type="image" label="Figure 1"}
:::::image{src="https://thestacks-staging-01.s3.amazonaws.com/publications/sampleworksv2/media_1aa8aa6a_996f7284f221"}
:::::
:::::figcaption
**Figure 1.** A caption

Figure Numbering

You do not need to add figure numbers when drafting. Numbering is assigned automatically when the document is parsed.
