An assistant to display a very tall image inside a box

Tall images are those images too high to be displayed "as is" in a Wikipedia page. You should use this assistant when you want to display a very tall image saving page space. This is especially useful when there is few accompanying text and you want to avoid extra blank space. This assistant is based on the template {{Tall image}}

This assistant makes able to display a tall image inside a box with an scroll bar which allows the reader to visualize the entire image. You should enter the following data:

· Image file name (required)

· Alternative text (optional)

· Caption (optional)

· Image desired width (px)

· Box desired height (px)

· Alignment ("right" is recommended)

Suggestions

Select the desired dimensions according to the size of the image and to the available space in the page. When you have few accompanying text, you might prefer a shorter box to save page space.

If the caption contains an equal sign, it will not be displayed. To solve this modify manually the code to substitute the string |caption with the string |3=caption

When you select alignment to the "right" or to the "left" the entire box will be aligned, so the subsequent text floats on the free side of the page. But if you select "none" (in-line option), the box will align to the left but the subsequent text will not float on the right side, leaving this space blank.
