How to derive an image

Derive directly from raster image with organs

The raster (.png format) images below have most commonly used organs already included, and text and lines can be added in almost any graphics editor. This is the easiest method, but does not leave any room for customizing what organs are shown.

  • Female with organs.png
  • Male with organs.png

  • Full-body image is available

  • Man shadow with organs.png

Adding text and lines:

  • Human body diagrams - adding text to human body image with organs.png
  • Human body diagrams - adding line to human body image with organs.png

Derive "from scratch"

By this method, body diagrams can be derived by pasting organs into one of the "plain" body images shown below. This method requires a graphics editor that can handle transparent images, in order to avoid white squares around the organs when pasting onto the body image. Pictures of organs are found on the project's main page. These were originally adapted to fit the male shadow/silhouette.

Organs:

More organs are found at: Human body diagrams/Organs

  • Intestine

  • Liver

  • Stomach

  • Heart and lungs

  • Rib cage

  • Kidneys

Derive by vector template

The Vector templates below can be used to derive images with, for example, Inkscape. This is the method with the greatest potential.

See Human body diagrams/Inkscape tutorial for a basic description in how to do this.
