Editing Help:How To Use Images (section)

== Parameters ==
* There are a few parameters that can be added to adjust how the image is displayed. Separate parameters with a pipe ( | ), anything that is not a qualifier will be assumed to be caption text (only displayed if the "frame" qualifier is present):
**Adding an alignment parameter allows text and other images to wrap alongside the File: left, center, or right
(<nowiki>[[File:Image Small.jpg|left]]</nowiki>)
(<nowiki>[[File:Image Small.jpg|center]]</nowiki>)
(<nowiki>[[File:Image Small.jpg|right]]</nowiki>)

[[File:Image Small.jpg|left]]
[[File:Image Small.jpg|center]] 
[[File:Image Small.jpg|right]]







[[File:Image Small.jpg|frame|Frame Caption.]]
*Add a frame with "frame" and include a caption by including the caption text in another piped segment (just include frame for a captionless frame). For example, <nowiki>[[File:Image Small.jpg|frame|Frame Caption.]]</nowiki>. A framed image will by default align on the right (add center or left to change this). By default they will also "float" or allow text wrapping. You can center text by adding <nowiki><center>Caption text.</center>.</nowiki>









{|border=1 cellspacing=0 align=right
|[[File:Image Small.jpg|125px]]
|-
|align=center|Centered text.
|}
*Frames have some limitations though, such as being unable to resize an image. One way around this is to construct your own frame using a table.






*Alignment issues and text wrapping can cause headaches and not appear how you wish it to. One way of controlling where things appear is to use borderless tables and display the images in the table cells. This isn't perfect either, but does let you define where text appears, where images appear, and is especially useful if displaying lots of images together. See [[ | here]] for more information on using tables, but here is a simple example:


=== Pixel Size ===
*You can adjust the size of the image that is displayed by adding pixel maximums. Give the width before "px" and if both width and height use the format WidthxHeightpx. These will not cause an image to be larger than it is, but if the image is larger than the pixels specified, the image will be scaled down (keeping proportions the same. For example:

<nowiki>[[File:Image Small.jpg|50px]]</nowiki>

[[File:Image Small.jpg|50px]]

<nowiki>[[File:Image Small.jpg|30x40px]]</nowiki>

[[File:Image Small.jpg|30x40px]]

*To use an image (such as an icon) as a hotlink to another page that isn't the image's own page, use the link parameter.

<nowiki>[[File:Viamontian Knight Icon.png|link=Viamontian Knight]]</nowiki>

[[File:Viamontian Knight Icon.png|link=Viamontian Knight]]
