[texworks] Insert garphic

[Peter Hertel]

TeXworks is intented to lower the entrance barrier to TeX, but not to 
make it another MS-Word.. Such specialized topics as including graphics 
by pressing a button really distract from the strength of TeX or LaTex. 
For including pictures into your documents you should write a macro 
making use of the figure environment, label the figure and provide a 
caption. In my opinion, one of the real advantages of TeX or LaTex is 
its powerful and easy-to-lern macro language. It is a bad idea to shield 
users from writing LaTeX macros. TeX or LaTeX is for literate 
programmers of texts, not for quick hacks.
