Im currently studying with Tobira. I'm in chapter 1 right now and in the
grammar section, it defines ように as being used when:

  1. X resembles Y 
  2. When X is as Y shows, says, explains, etc. 
  3. When X does something as shown/said/explained/etc. in/by Y

One of the examples sentence written in this section, and the one I'm having
trouble trying to figure out how it relates to the functions written above is:

この写真を見れば分かるように、ロンドンには、色々な名所がある。

I understood this as: "If you look at this photo, you'll know that there are
various famous places in London."

This was my best guess as to what the sentence means because I don't know how
ように factors into this.

question
grammar meaning usage
Trouble comprehending a sentence with ~ように
This ように like " **as** ～" (your second or third definition). Try reading it
like this:

> この写真を見れば分かる **ように** 、  
>  **As** you can understand if you look at this photo,
>
> ロンドンには、色々な名所がある。  
>  there are various famous places in London.

Or more naturally, the first half of the sentence means "As shown in the
photo, ..."
