Adding a new file to this page

To add a new file via github:

1. Add an image file (png, jpg, gif, webP, AVIF, or SVG -- note that PDFs will not work) or a small video file (.mp4) to the figures directory. Ensure that it has a unique file name.
2. Upload a corresponding .toml config file, again with a unique file name, to the metadata directory. Click here to download a template config file for adding an image or .mp4 file or here for template config file to embed a youtube video.

Important Notes:

1. Video files larger than 5 MB should be uploaded to Youtube for hosting. The youtube video will then be embedded on the page.
2. Please convert animated gifs to the mp4 format before uploading, to save space and bandwidth. The following ffmpeg command should do the job: ffmpeg -i input.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

If you'd like to contribute a figure, animation, etc without using github you can instead submit it using this RCN Google Form. One of our web development team members will then post the resource on your behalf.
