{{Lua| * [[Module:Multiple image]]}} ==Description== This template creates a box containing between two and ten images, arranged either vertically or horizontally and with captions for the entire box or per image. With the appropriate choice of parameters, the template can automatically resize images to a given total width with each image having the same height. '''Be aware''' that this template does ''not'' respect users' default image size preferences. If image size parameters are omitted, this template sets all images at 200px wide, regardless of whether the reader has set a preference for some other default image width. This causes multiple images to look out of scale to the other images in an article. ==Syntax and parameters== Provide ''height[n]'' and ''total_width'' parameters to obtain automatic resizing. Note the different meanings of the ''width[n]'' parameters with vs. without automatic resizing. ;No automatic resizing of all images to the same height :<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> {{multiple image <!-- Layout parameters --> | align = <!-- right (default), left, center, none --> | direction = <!-- horizontal (default), vertical --> | background color = <!-- box background --> | width = <!-- displayed width of each image in pixels (an integer, omit "px" suffix); overrides "width[n]"s below --> | caption_align = <!-- left (default), center, right --> <!-- Header --> | header_background = | header_align = <!-- center (default), left, right --> | header = <!--image 1--> | image1 = <!-- filename only, i.e. without "File:" or "Image:" prefix --> | width1 = <!-- displayed width of image; overridden by "width" above --> | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = <!--image 2--> | image2 = <!-- filename only, i.e. without "File:" or "Image:" prefix --> | width2 = <!-- displayed width of image; overridden by "width" above --> | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = <!-- and so on, to a maximum of 10 images (image10) --> <!-- Footer --> | footer_background = | footer_align = <!-- left (default), center, right --> | footer = }} </syntaxhighlight> ;Automatic resizing of all images to the same height and to a given total width :<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> {{multiple image <!-- Layout parameters --> | align = <!-- right (default), left, center, none --> | direction = <!-- horizontal (default), vertical --> | background color = <!-- box background --> | total_width = <!-- total width of all the displayed images in pixels (an integer, omit "px" suffix) --> | caption_align = <!-- left (default), center, right --> <!-- Header --> | header_background = | header_align = <!-- center (default), left, right --> | header = <!--image 1--> | image1 = <!-- filename only, i.e. without "File:" or "Image:" prefix --> | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = <!--image 2--> | image2 = <!-- filename only, i.e. without "File:" or "Image:" prefix --> | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = <!-- and so on, to a maximum of 10 images (image10) --> <!-- Footer --> | footer_background = | footer_align = <!-- left (default), center, right --> | footer = }} </syntaxhighlight> {| class=wikitable ! Parameter !! Description |- | align || right ''(default)'', left, center |- | direction || horizontal ''(default)'', vertical |- | background color || To set [[wikipedia:List of colors|the background color]] of the box in which the images appear. |- | header_background || |- | header_align || center ''(default)'', left, right |- | header || |- | width || Use to set the same width for each image (i.e. overrides any <code>width[n]</code> below). Do not include if different image widths intended, including if images are to be resized to a fixed total width. |- | total_width || Use to scale the images to the same height and this total width. Do not use both <code>total_width</code> and <code>width</code>. |- | image''[n]'' || (where ''[n]'' = 1 to 10) Filename of [n]th image. |- | width''[n]'' || ''(as above)'' Two meanings: (1) The width (in pixels, integer, omit "px") of [n]th image. Overridden by <code>width</code> (if set). (2) The full width of the original [n]th image if <code>total_width</code> is given in order to resize all images to the same height and a given total width. |- | height''[n]'' || ''(as above)'' The full height of the original [n]th image if <code>total_width</code> is given in order to resize all images to the same height and a given total width. Ignored otherwise. |- | alt''[n]'' || ''(as above)'' [[wikipedia:alt attribute|Alt description]] for [n]th image. |- | link''[n]'' || ''(as above)'' To specify the page to which the [n]th image is linked (i.e. the page that is loaded when the image is clicked).

This is either a number of seconds or hours:minutes:seconds; see [[:c:Commons:Video#Setting a video thumbnail image]]. |- | caption''[n]'' || ''(as above)'' Caption for the [n]th image. |- | caption_align || left ''(default)'', center, right |- | footer_background || |- | footer_align || left ''(default)'', center, right |- | footer || Caption that spans the entire box, as opposed to individual images.
