ਫਰਮਾ:Multiple image/doc

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. (Wikipedia:Image use policy states: "Except with very good reason, do not use px"... "which forces a fixed image width." states that a fixed width in pixels may only be specified, "Where absolutely necessary.")

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. Please also note the option to set a total_width parameter at the beginning of the multiple image template.

Parameter	Description
align	right (default), left, center
direction	horizontal (default), vertical
background color	To set 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 width[n] 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 total_width and width.
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 width (if set). (2) The full width of the original [n]th image if total_width 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 total_width is given in order to resize all images to the same height and a given total width. Ignored otherwise.
alt[n]	(as above)  Alt description for [n]th image.
link[n]	(as above)  The page linked to the [n]th image (i.e. the page that is loaded when the image is clicked). If this parameter is omitted altogether, the image will link to its image description page as usual (this is by far the most common usage case). If this parameter is present but left empty (i.e. ...|link1= |...), the image will not link to anything – this should be the case only for purely decorative images per WP:ALT. Important: If the image is under a free license (such as the GDFL or a free CC license), the terms of such license require the license, or a link to it, to be reproduced with the image. The image must, therefore, link to its image description page, which can be achieved simply by omitting the link[n] parameter from the template as mentioned. Public domain and (theoretically) non-free use images are not subject to this restriction.
thumbtime[n]	(as above)  When using video files, sets the time within the video that is used for the initial display. This is either a number of seconds or hours:minutes:seconds; see commons: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. Avoid "left" and "right" if possible, since mobile devices may display the images vertically.

Examples

Players are cautioned with a yellow card and sent off with a red card.

{{multiple image

 | image1 = Yellow card.svg
 | alt1 = Yellow cartouche
 | image2 = Red card.svg
 | alt2 = Red cartouche
 | footer = Players are cautioned with a yellow card and sent off with a red card.

With background color

Adoxa (Adoxa moschatellina)

{{multiple image
 | background color = #BBDD99
 | width = 160

 | alt3 = Leaves of a plant, in groups of three each with three lobes
 | footer_background = #33CC00
 | footer_align = center
 | footer = ''[[Adoxa]]'' (''Adoxa moschatellina'')
}}

If the images have a clear background, this will by default be changed to white. To make the background color of the images match, set them with image_style=background-color. You might want to also remove the border.

{{multiple image 
| align = center 
| width = 64 
| background color = black 
| image_style=background-color:black; border:none;
| image1 = Aries symbol (planetary color).svg|link1=Aries (astrology)
| image2 = Taurus symbol (planetary color).svg|link2=Taurus (astrology)
| image3 = Gemini symbol (planetary color).svg|link3=Gemini (astrology)
| image4 = Leo symbol (planetary color).svg|link4=Leo (astrology)
}}

With links (link[n])

 | footer = The image of the mule links to [[Mule]]; the image of the donkey does not link anywhere; the image of the trout links to a [[Image description page|standard image description page]].
}}

Using direction

By default, the images the template presents are displayed horizontally, as a row (see left; equivalent to setting |direction=horizontal). To display them vertically, i.e. as a column, set |direction=vertical (see right).

(horizontal)

(vertical)

On mobile devices some images may always be displayed vertically if the total width is larger than around 320.

To match image heights

Note: The following is unnecessary if all the images presented by the template have the same aspect ratio; if so, simply set width accordingly.

• Decide on a total width for all the images, say 320px
• Set the total width using |total_width=

Rectangular image of a donkey, originally 536 pixels high.

Square image of a trout, originally 300 pixels high.

Both images have been rendered with the same height, and a total width of 320px

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 320

 | image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
 | alt1 = A donkey
 | caption1 = Rectangular image of a donkey, originally 536 pixels high.

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | alt2 = A trout
 | caption2 = Square image of a trout, originally 300 pixels high.

 | footer = Both images have been rendered with the same height, and a total width of 320px
}}

Using the width[n]= and height[n]= parameters.

Square image of a trout, originally 300 x 300 pixels.

width2 x height2 = 900 x 900.

width3 x height3 = 100 x 200.

width4 x height4 = 200 x 100.

All images have been rendered with the same height except for image3, which is 100/200 = 1/2 the height of the other images. Image4 is 200/100 = 2 times the height of image1, so only its top half is visible. Total width set to 480px.

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 480

 | image1 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | caption1 = Square image of a trout, originally 300 x 300 pixels.

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width2 = 900
 | height2 = 900
 | caption2 = <code>width2</code> x <code>height2</code> = 900 x 900.
 
 | image3 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width3 = 100
 | height3 = 200
 | caption3 = <code>width3</code> x <code>height3</code> = 100 x 200.
 
 | image4 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width4 = 200
 | height4 = 100
 | caption4 = <code>width4</code> x <code>height4</code> = 200 x 100.
 
 | footer = All images have been rendered with the same height except for image3, which is 100/200 = 1/2 the height of the other images. Image4 is 200/100 = 2 times the height of image1, so only its top half is visible. Total width set to 480px.
}}

The aspect ratio of each image is automatically retrieved from the File metadata. You can override the native width and height values by

• Examining the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example:
  • File:Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg shows "Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg (750 × 536 pixels, file size: 125 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)"
  • File:Rainbow trout.png shows "Rainbow_trout.png (300 × 300 pixels, file size: 158 KB, MIME type: image/png)"
• Specify the full width and height for each image, of the form:
  • |width1= |height1= |width2= |height2=

Multiple rows

To create an array of images, with multiple rows, use |perrow=. The value passed to |perrow= may be a single number, or a list of numbers delimited by /. This feature may also be combined with |total_width= for multiple rows of images with the same total width.

Surveying Equipment. Clockwise from upper left: Optical Theodolite, Robotic total station, RTK GPS Base station, Optical level.

{{multiple image|perrow = 2|total_width=300
| image1 = Kern_Theodolit_DKM2-A.jpg
| image2 = Total-Robotic-Station.jpg
| image3 = DumpyLevel.jpg
| image4 = GPS_Survey_Equipment_at_Weir_Dyke_Bridge_-_geograph.org.uk_-_336908.jpg
| footer = Surveying Equipment. Clockwise from upper left: Optical Theodolite, Robotic total station, [[Real-time kinematic|RTK]] GPS Base station, Optical level.
}}

Removing the image border

The border around the images can be removed using |image_style=border:none.

Image of a donkey

Image of a trout

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 320
 | image_style = border:none;

 | image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
 | alt1 = A donkey
 | caption1 = Image of a donkey

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | alt2 = A trout
 | caption2 = Image of a trout
}}

Increasing the gap between images

The gap between the images can be increased using |image_gap=N, where N is the number of pixels (must be non-negative).

Image of a donkey

Image of a trout

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 320
 | image_gap = 20
