# வார்ப்புரு:Multiple image/doc



This template creates a box with two to ten images arranged vertically or horizontally with captions for the entire box or for each 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. ( states: )  

If image size parameters are omitted, this template sets all images at 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

;Automatic resizing of all images to the same height and to a given total width

| align | *(default)*, , |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| direction | horizontal *(default)*, vertical |  |
| background color | To set the background color of the box in which the images appear. |  |
| header_background |  |  |
| header_align | *(default)*, , |  |
| header |  |  |
| width | Use to set the same width for each image (i.e. overrides any 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 and . |  |
| image*[n]* | (where *[n]* = 1 to 10)&nbsp; Filename of [n]th image. |  |
| width*[n]* | *(as above)*&nbsp; Two meanings: (1) The width (in pixels, integer, omit "px") of [n]th image. Overridden by (if set). (2) The full width of the original [n]th image if is given in order to resize all images to the same height and a given total width. |  |
| height*[n]* | *(as above)*&nbsp; The full height of the original [n]th image if is given in order to resize all images to the same height and a given total width. Ignored otherwise. |  |
| alt*[n]* | *(as above)*&nbsp; Alt description for [n]th image. |  |
| link*[n]* | *(as above)*&nbsp; To specify the page to which the [n]th image is linked (i.e. the page that is loaded when the image is clicked). If set as empty (e.g. ), linking is disabled (even to the standard Wikipedia image description page); consider WP:ALT.
***Note:*** This parameter ***must not*** be used with images that have been given free licenses (such as the GDFL or a free CC license) as these licenses require images to be linked to a declaration of the license under which they are being used. |  |
| thumbtime*[n]* | *(as above)*&nbsp; When using Ogg Theora 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 image. |  |
| caption*[n]* | *(as above)*&nbsp; Caption for the [n]th image. |  |
| caption_align | *(default)*, , |  |
| footer_background |  |  |
| footer_align | *(default)*, , |  |
| footer | Caption that spans the entire box, as opposed to individual images. Avoid "" and "" if possible, since mobile devices may display the images vertically. | } |

### With links (*link[n]*)

### Using *direction*
By default, the images the template presents are displayed horizontally, as a row (see ; equivalent to setting ). To display them vertically, i.e. as a column, set (see ).  

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

### To match image heights

- Decide on a total width for all the images, say
- Examine the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example:
  - shows "Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg (750 × 536 pixels, file size: 125 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)"
  - 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:
  - 
- Set the total width using

<pre>  

</pre>  

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

### Removing the image
The around the images can be removed using .

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