This template provides advanced gallery building functionality (fine-tuned formatting control). For creating basic galleries, use the Gallery tag.

This template displays a gallery of images in an array, left-to-right in rows. Global parameters Template:Para and Template:Para control the size of all images in the gallery. The number of images per row is based upon the image width parameters and the width of the screen. The number of images per row can change when the user resizes the window.

For style guidelines about where galleries are appropriate, see Template:Section link.

Optional parameters[edit source]

These parameters apply to the gallery:

Template:Para – The gallery's title
Template:Para – The alignment of the gallery on the page, left (default), center, or right; ignored when Template:Para is set
Template:Para – Small, right-aligned text below the images
Template:ParaCSS style directives for the whole gallery (see Help:Cascading Style Sheets)
Template:Para – Sets the default state of collapsible galleries; use Template:Para or Template:Para; collapsible galleries occupy the full page width
Template:Para – Sets the mode used by the inner gallery tag. Common values include Template:Para and Template:Para (see Help:Gallery tag for more options)

These parameters apply to all of the images in the gallery:

Template:Para – Cancel the border surrounding the images, use Template:Para to set.
Template:Para – Maximum height of each image. If this parameter is not included, Template:Para defaults to 180 pixels.
Template:Para – Maximum width of each image, default is 180 pixels.
Template:ParaCSS style directives for the captions (see Help:Cascading Style Sheets)

The image's original ratio of width to height cannot be modified by Template:Para or Template:Para – a rectangular image will not be made square if Template:Para and Template:Para are set to the same value.
