Images

\begin{figure}  % or \begin{figure}[⟨placement specifiers⟩]
    \centering
    \caption{⟨caption⟩}  % or \caption[⟨listoftables caption⟩]{⟨caption⟩}
    \label{fig:⟨label⟩}
    \includegraphics[width=0.75\columnwidth]{⟨filename⟩}

\begin{figure}  % or \begin{figure}[⟨placement⟩]
    \centering
    \lstset{caption = {⟨caption⟩}}
