Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how to include images in our document. We now know which file types we can use and how to place figures in our document.

LaTeX can generate a list of figures like a table of contents. We will deal with such lists in Chapter 8, Listing Contents and References.

As our figures are numbered, we can use these numbers to refer to them within the text. In Chapter 7, Using Cross-References, we will figure out how to do this, benefiting from LaTeX's built-in cross-referencing capabilities.

In the next chapter, we will work with tables, and we will see that table positioning is very similar to figure positioning.
