An assistant to display very wide image in a page

Wide images are those images too wide to be placed in a Wikipedia page. You should use this assistant when you need to display an image which is so wide that cannot be seen entirely in the browser window, so you cannot display it in the usual manner. If you reduce the image enough to fit the page then it would be so thin that many details would go unnoticed. This assistant is based on the template {{Panorama}}.

This assistant allows to insert the image inside a box which automatically adjusts to the page width with an horizontal scroll bar so the reader can scroll the image to see it entirely. You should enter the following data.

· Image file name (required)

· Alternative text (optional)

· Caption (optional)

· Image height, px (required)

· Scroll right-to-left (optional)

It is not necessary to enter the width of the box, because it adapts to the page width.

There is a similar template named {{Wide image}} but this one does not allow to specify a desired height of the panorama, so we recommend to use {{Panorama}}.
