Notes
Calculating "image_upright"
The image_upright
parameter, and image2_upright
and logo_upright
where applicable, is/are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of px
(e.g. thumb|300px
), as this forces a fixed image width. Scalable images respect the user's base preference (which may have been selected for that user's particular devices). Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px (size is default multiplied by upright value then rounded to nearest 10).
"px" setting | image_upright= |
---|---|
170 | 0.75 |
180 | 0.8 |
190 | 0.85 |
200 | 0.9 |
210 | 0.95 |
220 | 1 |
230 | 1.05 |
240 | 1.1 |
250 | 1.15 |
260 | 1.2 |
270 | 1.23 |
280 | 1.25 |
290 | 1.3 |
300 | 1.35 |
