Picture with caption

Example caption

Template documentation

This template is for a specific use on pages. Adding an additional border around a picture without using frames or thumbs.

Use this template to create a simple inline picture with a caption. It is recommended that you use the built in wiki codes first when trying to add an image to a page. This template's primary use is if you do not want to use the thumbs tag in the insertion of an image into an article.

The syntax is {{Picture with caption|name of file|width of picture in px|caption}}

The following code:

{{Picture with caption|Autosomes diagram.jpg|300px|This is my caption for this picture}}

will render this example:

This is my caption for this picture

---

You can also use a template to render the caption, however you must not forget the templates ending }} brackets.

{{Picture with caption|Autosomes diagram.jpg|400px|{{File from NHGRI}} }}

The above code renders this:

This image is taken from the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms and is reproduced courtesy of the National Human Genome Research Institute.

---

You can also float the image to the right, just add float=right to the end of the template call.

{{Picture with caption|Autosomes diagram.jpg|400px|{{File from NHGRI}}|float=right }}

The above code renders this:

This image is taken from the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms and is reproduced courtesy of the National Human Genome Research Institute.
