Upon a measurement of the position, the wavefunction collapses to a spike centered at x0

I encounter similar spike pictures numerous times, but there is an uncertainty in position , it can't be a spike right.
First thing I see on google:

Pls explain, thanks in advance. I have a lot of other questions but I don't want to cram them all in on thread, BUT I don't want to spam either, I'll just do it one by one.

In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is said to occur when a wave function—initially in a superposition of several eigenstates—appears to reduce to a single eigenstate (by "observation").
