In the previous section was explained how to include images in your document, but the combination of text and images may not look as we expected. To change this we need to introduce a new environment. The figure environment is used to display pictures as floating elements within the document. This means you include the picture inside the figure environment and you don't have to worry about it's placement, L a T e X will position it in a such way that it fits the flow of the document.
Anyway, sometimes we need to have more control on the way the figures are displayed. An additional parameter can be passed to determine the figure positioning. Below a table to list the possible positioning values.
In the next example you can see a picture at the t op of the document, despite being declared below the text.
The default alignment is left. It's also possible to wrap the text around a figure. When the document contains small pictures this makes it look better. For the commands in the example to work, you have to import the package wrapfig. Notice that the environment has two additional parameters enclosed in braces. Below the code is explained with more detail:.
For a more complete article about image positioning see Positioning images and tables. Captioning images to add a brief description and labelling them for further reference are two important tools when working on a lengthy text.
Captions can also be placed right after the figures. The sidecap package uses similar code to the one in the previous example to accomplish this. You can do a more advanced management of the caption formatting. Check the further reading section for references.
Figures, just as many other elements in a L a T e X document equations, tables, plots, etc can be referenced within the text.
Another great characteristic in a L a T e X document is the ability to automatically generate a list of figures. This is straightforward. This command only works on captioned figures, since it uses the caption in the table. The example above lists the images in this article.
Important Note: When using cross-references your L a T e X project must be compiled twice, otherwise the references, the page references and the table of figures won't work—Overleaf takes care of that for you. However, that is not necessary, though it is often useful. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams?

To upload files directly into a folder, click that folder then click on New and follow the instructions in the previous section. Once you have some files in your folder you can use them within your document, see the example below. For more information on image management in L a T e X look in further reading for links.
