Add Image to Graph

Add images to your graph to use as a template for your graph, add text labels, or for a little pop of extra color! To add an image to your graph, start by opening the Add Item menu and choose Image. Clicking and dragging the image into the expression list is also supported in many browsers.

 

To Move the image, click on the center point and drag the image to where you’d like to place it. Or, you can manually change the coordinate of the center point in the expression list. This will automatically move the image so that its center is at that new coordinate point. To Resize the image, click and drag any one of the outer points surrounding the image and drag outwards to make larger and inwards to make smaller.

    Hi Ramon,

    We're working on increasing the file size limit for images! Hopefully soon :)

    Best,

    So currently what would be considered an optimum file size? Does the resolution matter? Does the file type matter? Could you give some guidelines?

    Is there any way to rotate an image once it has been imported, not just scale the size?

    I wish this function was available in Student activities :( we are doing an awesome function project, but students don't have the option to upload an image within a custom activity.

    I tried adding an image on my phone and for some reason there is no add image button, I am using a Google Pixel XL and I am updated to Android 8.1. Is there a different way to add an image or is it a bug that the button is missing on the Android version of the app

    Hey Desmos!  Is there a way to lock a picture in place on a graph?  I have done previous custom activities where the students have been able to move/resize the image.  The ability to move the image makes task completion difficult because the location of the graphic has changed.

    How come we can't make the image transparent anymore? 

    yes we can, you just have to long click the image...

    This feature (students uploading their own image in activity builder) is not available (yet).
