The resulting object can just be added to the html, like @img or you can work with sub-properties as specified in the IResponsiveImage

IResponsiveImage Img(object link = null, object settings = null, NoParamOrder noParamOrder = default, object factor = null, object width = null, string imgAlt = null, string imgAltFallback = null, string imgClass = null, object imgAttributes = null, object toolbar = null, object recipe = null)

Parameters

link object

What should be in this, can be:

a string url, in which case it would be used if url is not specified
a IField in which case it would be used if field is not specified

settings object
