Template:Multiple image/doc
 | Uses Lua: |
This template creates a box with two to ten images arranged vertically or horizontally with captions for the entire box and/or for each images.
With the appropriate choice of parameters, the template can automatically resize images to a given total width with each image having the same height.

| 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) 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. ...|alt1=... |link1= |caption1=...), 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. |
| 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. |

using direction
tulaikaBy 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)
to match image heights
tulaikaNote: 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
- Examine 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=
- 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|caption_align=center|header_align=center
| align = right
| total_width = 320
| image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
| width1 = 750 | height1 = 536
| alt1 = A donkey
| caption1 = Rectangular image of a donkey, originally 536 pixels high.
| image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
| width2 = 300 | height2 = 300
| 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
}}
Multiple rows
tulaikaTo 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.

{{multiple image|perrow = 2|total_width=300

| image2 = Total-Robotic-Station.jpg |width2=1728|height2=3072
| image3 = DumpyLevel.jpg |width3=1600|height3=1200
| image4 = GPS_Survey_Equipment_at_Weir_Dyke_Bridge_-_geograph.org.uk_-_336908.jpg|width4=427|height4=640
| footer = Surveying Equipment. Clockwise from upper left: Optical Theodolite, Robotic total station, Optical level, [[Real-time kinematic | RTK]] GPS Base station.
