VI snippets
hi, great to see you figured out a nice way to present LABview.
may i suggest to add the {{VI snippet}} template to the image itself too, for the benefit of anyone who follows a link to the image directly?--eMBee 03:20, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's a good idea, thanks! Perhaps I should change Template:VI_snippet to say "This image" instead of "the following image."
