Adding an Image

To insert an image, choose Image from the Types menu, click the Graphics graphics button button, or use the keyboard shortcut (Control-t in Windows, Control-i in Unix). The resulting dialog lets you enter the file name and alternative text ('ALT' text) of the desired image.

To provide a long description for an image presenting complex information, you should do so in a separate document and link it by giving the URI as a longdesc. This command is also available on the Attributes menu.

To help find an image file you can enter a filter field, and use the filter button, and the dialog will list only the files that match your pattern.
