==Data File Locations (Yellow)== I use Microsoft Excel to generate plots that can then be (a) turned into a "png" image that is (b) uploaded for display within a MediaWiki chapter. I have found that, months (or, especially, years) after I originally created the image, I will return to the chapter and discover that I would like to modify the original plot. Often I cannot remember where I have stored the relevant Excel spreadsheet on my home-based computer's disk, or in the cloud. In an effort to solve this problem, I have created a simple, yellow "Data File" icon that can be attached to the MediaWiki figure such that, when you scroll the mouse cursor over the icon, a text box appears that explains where the file has been stored. Immediately below, I present an example: Figure 3, copied from our chapter that discusses "[[SSC/Stability/InstabilityOnsetOverview#Turning_Points_along_Sequences_of_Pressure-Truncated_Polytropes|Turning Points along Sequences of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes]]." <table border="0" cellpadding="8" align="center"> <tr> <th align="center">[[File:DataFileButton02.png|right|60px|file = Dropbox/WorkFolder/Wiki edits/EmbeddedPolytropes/CombinedSequences.xlsx --- worksheet = EqSeqCombined]]Figure 3: Equilibrium Sequences<br />of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes </th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1"> [[File:MassVsRadiusCombined02.png|350px|Equilibrium sequences of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes]] </td> </tr> </table> <pre> <table border="0" cellpadding="8" align="center"> <tr> <th align="center">[[File:DataFileButton02.png|right|60px|file = Dropbox/WorkFolder/Wiki edits/EmbeddedPolytropes/CombinedSequences.xlsx --- worksheet = EqSeqCombined]]Figure 3: Equilibrium Sequences<br />of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes </th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1"> [[File:MassVsRadiusCombined02.png|350px|Equilibrium sequences of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes]] </td> </tr> </table> </pre>
