This template provides advanced gallery building functionality (fine-tuned formatting control). For creating generic galleries, use the Gallery tag.
This template displays a gallery of images in an array, left-to-right in rows. Global parameters |width=
and |height=
control the size of all images in the gallery. The number of images per row is based upon the image width parameters and the width of the screen. The number of images per row can change when the user resizes the window.
For style guidelines about where galleries are appropriate, see Wikipedia:Image use policy § Image galleries.
