Template:Plain_image_with_caption
Template:Plain image with caption
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
- {{pic}}
- {{plain image}}
Since MediaWiki does not provide a way to add visible captions to images integrated seamlessly in a page (i.e., without borders), this template aims to provide that functionality.
Usage
This template can be either with named parameters, as in
- {{Plain image with caption|image=Example.svg|caption=Example text|upright=1.2|align=right|caption position=bottom}}
...or in its shorthand form:
- {{Plain image with caption|Example.svg|Example text|upright|right|bottom}}
- The only compulsory parameters are image and caption.
- When using the shorthand version, keep in mind that the order of parameters is important.
| Parameter | Default | Acceptable values |
|---|---|---|
| image | mandatory | any image filename ("File:" or "Image:" is optional) |
| caption | mandatory | any valid wiki markup |
| upright | none | any decimal number (decimal point is optional) |
| width | none | any pixel width ("px" suffix optional) |
| height | none | any pixel height ("px" suffix optional) |
| align | right | left, center, right, none |
| caption position | bottom | top, bottom |
| triangle | none | triangle, none |
| triangle color | #ff0080 | any CSS color |
| image override | Anything (lets you replace the image block with anything—useful for stacking image overlays) | |
| caption override | Anything (lets you replace the caption block with anything) |
Examples
The triangle parameters give the option to add a colored triangle label—
{{plain image with caption|James Webb Space Telescope Mirror37.jpg|caption=This is a picture of the [[James Webb Space Telescope]].|align=left|caption position=top|triangle=triangle|triangle color=rgba(0,110,255,1)|upright=2}}
Using "image-override" to stack images
{{Plain image|File:Helical granum.png|'''Grana structure''' The prevailing model for [[granum|granal]] structure is a stack of granal [[thylakoids]] linked by helical [[stroma (fluid)|stromal]] thylakoids that wrap around the grana stacks and form large sheets that connect different grana.|432px|left|top|triangle|#3cb14d|image override=<div style="float: right; position: relative; width: 432px; height: 432px;"> <div style="float: right; position: absolute; width: 432px;">[[File:Helical granum.png|432px]]</div> <div style="float: right; position: absolute; width: 432px;">[[File:Granum labels.svg|432px|The prevailing model for [[granum|granal]] structure.]]</div></div>}}
