Menu of assistants for displaying single images

The Menu of images is a panel of buttons which gives you several techniques to display a single image:
·    Single image - To display a simple image as is, without modifications. This is the simplest way to insert an image in a page
·    Cropped image - To crop an image detail and display it as if it were a new image, You do not need to save it as a new image when you want to emphasize some detail of an existing image.
·    Annotated image - To display an image with superimposed annotations. You do not need to embed annotations in an image to point out some details. Embedded annotations do not display well when the images are re-sized neither allow text modifications. Superimposed annotations permit to make use of the same image for different articles in different languages and make easier subsequent editions.
·    Wide image - A solution to display a very wide image inside a box with an horizontal scroll bar which allows readers visualize the entire image.
·    Tall image - A solution to display a very tall image inside a box with a vertical scroll bar to save page space and allow readers visualize the entire image.


More complex images

If you need to display more complex images you may combine techniques from different assistants. For example, if you need to display a cropped image with annotations, you do not need to nest templates, because both assistants are based on the same template. Generate code for the cropped image and then generate code for the annotations and  combine them in the same template.

You can make use of other templates to display complex images. See: Templates
