Template:Clear right

using direction

By default, the images the template presents are displayed horizontally, as a row (see left; equivalent to setting Template:Mono). To display them vertically, i.e. as a column, set Template:Mono (see right).

(horizontal)
(vertical)

to match image heights

  • Decide on a total width for all the images, say 320px
  • Examine the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example:
  • 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
 | 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
