\chapter{Graphics} \label{sec:graphics} Since in \LaTeX{} we work with plain text, we cannot simply embed graphics into our text as we may be used to from other \deleted[id=F]{text} word processing programs. Instead, we reference external image files by a command. The figure is then embedded and positioned at compile time. \section{Inserting graphics} \label{sec:display-graphics} In order to be able to reference graphics, the package \texttt{graphicx} has to be included. For inserting a figure, we can use the following commands: \begin{minted}[tabsize=4]{latex} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{} \caption[]{} \end{figure} \end{minted} \noindent The command \mintinline{latex}{includegraphics} can be used to change the image size. The desired height and width of the figure can be indicated separately, \replaced[id=F]{as}{like} illustrated by the following example: \begin{minted}{latex} \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth,height=5cm]{} \end{minted} \section{Positioning} \label{sec:graphics-placement} One interesting aspect of the what-you-get-is-what-you-mean paradigm is the way how graphics can be positioned. By default, the graphic is placed at the potentially optimal position that is calculated by the compiler. \todo{Bezüge etwas unklar. Evtl. Reihenfolge der Sätze überdenken?}It creates multiple layouts and evaluates them. By moving graphics, typographic blemishes, like widows and orphans\footnote{The first (last) line of a paragraph appears alone as last (first) line on the previous (next) page, cf. \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widows_and_orphans}.}, can be avoided. As a consequence, graphics are not necessarily placed between the two text blocks that we specify, but at another position. In order to reference a picture, that possibly is placed on another page, we can use labels, which are covered in \cref{sec:references}. On top of that, we can limit the positioning of our image more or less rigorously by adding optional parameters to the \texttt{figure} environment. The available positioning shortcuts can be found in \cref{tbl:placement-abbreviations}. \begin{table}[h!] \centering \begin{tabular}{cl} \toprule Shortcut & Position \\ \midrule h & here, if possible \\ t & on top of the page \emph{(top)} \\ b & at the bottom of the page \emph{(bottom)} \\ p & on its own page \emph{(page)} \\ H & Definitely here! (requires package \texttt{float}) \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \caption{Shortcuts for positioning graphics} \label{tbl:placement-abbreviations} \end{table} \todo{Entweder alles als Satz oder nichts} \begin{minted}[tabsize=4]{latex} \begin{figure}[] \centering \includegraphics{} \end{figure} \end{minted} Besides the vertical positioning, also the horizontal orientation may be of importance. By default, graphics are left-justified. The command \mintinline{latex}{\centering} centers all following objects in the current environment. If we want the centering to affect only one object, we can alternatively wrap the figure with \mintinline{latex}{\begin{center}} and \mintinline{latex}{\end{center}}. \todo{In Figures ist das ja eigentlich nicht notwendig, oder?}
