Adding caption to a image

Adding caption to a image

Hi,

I use books to disponibilize the contents of my courses on Moodle. Frequently I use images that I want to put captions, but I've searched a lot and still don't found how to do this.

What I found related was about to add captions in images in a gallery, but I need to do this with images in books or pages.

If anyone know how to help me, I'll be really glad.
Thanks. pomežik

Hi Joelias,

Over the years I have used numerous ways.

  • Place the caption on the next line of text below a picture. - Can have alignment problems.
  • Place pictures with text in cells of a table. - Can have alignment problems.
  • Add text caption to the picture using a photo editing program such as GIMP. - Caption becomes part of the picture.
  • My favorite is to use Snagit. It costs money but is pretty cheap. It does have a free trial version so you can try it out to see if it does what you want. It has hot keys to bring it up at any time and lets you capture from the screen and does just about anything you want to, to the resulting picture. You can mark on the picture, add a caption, watermark your picture, make fancy edges and borders, etc.

HTH,

AL

A good answer Al - my only addition is that Jing works in a very similar way to Snagit, and is free.  It's not as versatile as Snagit but if you want to put a picture up on your screen and just add a caption to the picture it does the job.

A tip when using Jing (or similar) is to place a blank (Word?) page behind the image on your screen, but sticking out under the image.  That gives you a white space to place your caption on, if you don't want the caption on your actual image.

Hey Al,

Really thanks for you attention. I've already tried the tree first suggestion you gave me, but as you report, there are some problems. But, I found interesting this Snagit, still don't know it. I'll try and give here a feedback.

Thank you!

Hi all, 

After a time searching and doing tests, I could see Snagit and Jig are both interesting softwares, but waste me a lot of time to use. Although, I couldn't find a solution in moodle to do it faster and using just a text editor.

So, what I'm doing is using HTML tags. The <figure> allows me to use the <img> tag with the <figcaption> attribute to set up the legend. With this resource, is possible to see the legend bellow of the image (default visualization of captions) just in case your image is aligned alone in the line. If you choose to use text aside the image, your caption will take the same alignment then the text.

This is an example of <figure> tag use:

<figure style="text-align: center;">
         <img src="http://omg.sistemaar.com.br/draftfile.php?file=/3625/user/draft/834728035/projeto_grafico.png" alt="Alt de Figura SistemaAR" height="62" width="800" />
         <figcaption>Fig1. - Um Exemplo de Sistemar.</figcaption>
</figure>
