Changing the size of a picture/image in a publication

It may happen that you have a smaller or bigger image than you would like or simply not the size that you think will fit your the publication.

Here is how you can change the size without changing the image itself.

More on how to publish or show a picture can be found here.

So you have added it and it appearance to be wrong size. You may fix this the following way:

Here is a picture I will use to illustrate the changes and formating you will make., This image is 240X240px

Changing the image width

Add width="200" before />
200 is just and example and it determines the width in pixels.
The image height will change accordingly and proportionally to safe the original image height to width ratio and the image look.

Changing the height:

Add height="150" before/img>
Again 150 is just an example height in pixels 150.
Same as in the previous change - the other dimension /the width/wile change automatically and proportionally.

Changing height and width

Make the two changes explained above one after the other.
This transformation is usually undesirable as it mat deform the picture ot image and make it unappealing

Make sure you pay closer attention any time you enlarge images this way as it will most likely lower its quality.:
