Template:Imagestack/doc

Function of the template

The template Imagestack provides functionality to scroll through a stack of images such as CT or MRI- series. The scrolling can be done by hovering over the image and rolling the scroll wheel, dragging the image up or down, or clicking the < or the > above each stack. While scrolling, there may be flickering the first time each image appears in the stack. The javascript code for this can be found in MediaWiki:Gadget-ImageStack.js which will be automatically loaded in the MediaWiki:Common.js if needed.

Examples

• Scrollable sets on NC Commons
• Commons

Usage

The code below gives the result on the right:

Mesenteric ischemia

{{Imagestack
|width=200
|title=Gastric banding
|align=right
|loop=no
|background=green
|Image:Magenband 52jw - CT Volumen Rendering - 001.jpg|Foo 1
|Image:Magenband 52jw - CT Volumen Rendering - 002.jpg|Bar 2
|Image:Magenband 52jw - CT Volumen Rendering - 003.jpg|Fizz 3 bluh
|Image:Magenband 52jw - CT Volumen Rendering - 004.jpg|Buzz 4 blah
}}

If an image caption contains a special sign like "=", it has to be shown like <nowiki>=</nowiki>.

A Bash command to create a typical image list looks like this:

for i in $(seq -f "%02g" 0 53); do echo "|File:Menger sponge diagonal section $i.png|"; done

The 2 in "%02g" is the desired number of leading zeros. (Used Template:Catlink.)
Every fourth images among 720 is $(seq -f "%03g" 0 4 719). (Used Template:Catlink.)

Categories for stack images

If there is an own category for the images of one stack/series it is recommended to use the Template:Imagestackcat in the first line of the description page like this:

{{Imagestackcat}}
{{Imagestack
...

Categories marked in that way are sorted in category Template:Catlink.

See also

• {{Imagestackcat}} mark the category containing the images
• {{Imagestackimg}} mark the single images belonging to the series
