Figures¶
Show an image, an HTML page, or a robot run on a slide with an image link.
A figure can be an image, an HTML page, or a rollout, which is a recorded robot run. The code calls a figure an embed, so you also meet that word in Python and in warnings.
The link text becomes the caption above the frame, and the file suffix decides how mkdeck draws the figure:
| Suffix | mkdeck draws |
|---|---|
.html, .htm |
An iframe. Use it for a Plotly chart or any interactive page |
.rollout, .rbundle |
A robot run in the rollout viewer. See Show a rollout |
| Any other suffix | An image, such as a PNG, an SVG, or a GIF |
The source can also be an http or https URL.
Show two figures¶
To put two figures side by side, place them inside a figures block:
::: figures
:::
Two image lines in a row also make two figures, so the block is optional.
Wrap a figure in a link¶
An image alone in a paragraph is a figure, and so is an image that only a link or emphasis wraps. The next line makes a figure and drops the link:
[](https://example.org)
Put an image inside text¶
An image inside a bullet or a table cell appears where you wrote it. mkdeck copies everything under assets/, so an image there works. However, mkdeck copies no local image from any other place, so it warns you and the image breaks. To fix this, move the file under assets/, or write the image on a line of its own.
Limits¶
Warning
A slide holds at most two figures, and it holds figures or a table, not both. Move the extra content onto a new slide.
