# Providing a figure for the thumbnail image

This example demonstrates how to provide a figure that is displayed as the thumbnail. This is done by specifying the keyword-value pair `sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_path = 'fig path'` as a comment somewhere below the docstring in the example file. In this example, we specify that we wish the figure `demo.png` in the folder `_static` to be used for the thumbnail.

    import numpy as np
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    # sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_path = '_static/demo.png'

    x = np.linspace(0, 4*np.pi, 301)
    y1 = np.sin(x)
    y2 = np.cos(x)

## Plot 1

    plt.figure()
    plt.plot(x, y1, label='sin')
    plt.plot(x, y2, label='cos')
    plt.legend()
    plt.show()

## Plot 2

    plt.figure()
    plt.plot(x, y1, label='sin')
    plt.plot(x, y2, label='cos')
    plt.legend()
    plt.xscale('log')
    plt.yscale('log')
    plt.show()
