# Figure

[Figure Documentation](/-/help/plugins#figure)

The `{{Figure}}` embedding wraps a block of content (code, a table, an image)
in a bordered box with an optional caption, similar to a LaTeX figure. Note
the outer fence below uses **four** backticks because the content itself is a
fenced code block.

## A captioned code block

````
{{Figure
|caption=Figure 1: Hello world in Python
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
print("Hello, World!")
```
}}
````

{{Figure
|caption=Figure 1: Hello world in Python
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
print("Hello, World!")
```
}}

## An image, aligned and sized

`align` positions the figure (`center` by default) and `width` sizes it.

```
{{Figure
|caption=Figure 2: An eagle-owl
|align=left
|width=50%
![](/Examples/ImageFrame/eagle-owl.png)
}}
```

{{Figure
|caption=Figure 2: An eagle-owl
|align=left
|width=50%
![](/Examples/ImageFrame/eagle-owl.png)
}}

`height` caps the content height and scrolls the overflow; `style` appends
inline CSS. See the [Figure documentation](/-/help/plugins#figure) for those.
