This template creates a box with two to ten images arranged vertically or horizontally with captions for the entire box and/or for each images.

=== Usage ===
* '''align''' defaults to "right"
* '''direction''' defaults to "horizontal"
* '''header_align''' defaults to "center"
* '''footer_align''' defaults to "left"
* '''image1''' is name of first image. Similarly for '''image2''', etc.
* '''width1''' is width of first image. Similarly for '''width2''', etc.
** '''width''' overrides width1, width2, width3, etc. If you want the images to be different sizes, do not provide the width parameter.
* '''alt1''' is alt text of first image (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ALT WP:ALT]). Similarly for '''alt2''', etc.
* '''caption1''' is caption of first image. Similarly for '''caption2''', etc.
* '''link1''' is where the first page links to. Similarly for '''link2''', etc. If not specified, image links to the image description page as usual. If specified to the empty value, the image does not link anywhere; this should be used for purely decorative images as per [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ALT WP:ALT]. '''Important''': If the image is under a free license like the GFDL or a CC license, you '''must not''' use this parameter as the terms of those licenses require the license, or a link to it, to be reproduced with the image. The image must, therefore, link to its image page. Public domain and (theoretically) fair use images are not subject to this restriction.
* '''background color''' defines the background color between the border of the box and the images.
* header, footer, background color and captions are optional.

| caption1 = <center>A mule 骡子, ''luózi''</center>
| link1 = Mule

{{lang|zh|2=鱼}}, ''yú''</center>
}}
<pre style="overflow: auto;">
{{multiple image
| footer = The mule links to ''[[Mule]]'', the donkey does not link anywhere, and the trout links to its image description page as usual.
| align = left

| image1 = Frecklesmule.jpg
| width1 = 143
| alt1 = A mule

| link1 = Mule

| image2 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
| width2 = 150

| link2 =

| image3 = Rainbow_trout.png
| width3 = 91
| alt3 = A trout
| caption3 = <center>A fish 
{{lang|zh|2=鱼}}, ''yú''</center>
}}
</pre>
{{-}}

=== Horizontal placement ===
Vertical direction places the images on ''one'' straight line (column) downwards from the first image, while horizontal direction places the images left to right on multiple lines (rows):
{{multiple image
| align = left
| direction = vertical
| header = vertical
| width = 150

| image1 = CarmeloMuscatCaptainAlbumCover.jpg

| image2 = Athelstone-QuietBeforeTheStorm-coverart2011.jpg

| image3 = Sandro Zerafa-Urban Poetics-cd cover.jpg
}}
{{multiple image
| align = right
| direction = horizontal
| header = horizontal
| width = 150

| image1 = CarmeloMuscatCaptainAlbumCover.jpg

| image2 = Athelstone-QuietBeforeTheStorm-coverart2011.jpg

| image3 = Sandro Zerafa-Urban Poetics-cd cover.jpg
}}

 

However, this will not be apparent if only two images are used, as the template with "direction = horizontal" will place both images on different lines (rows), creating a blank space. Thus [[Template:Double image]] must be used. Similarly, if one wishes to display three images side-by-side on one line, [[Template:Triple image]] must be used.

==== Matching image heights ====
: ''This trick is not required if all images have the same [[Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]], where ''{{para|width}}'' suffices''
* Decide on a common height for the images, say 100 pixels.
* Examine the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example:
** [[:File:Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg]] shows "Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg (750 × 536 pixels, file size: 125 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)"
** [[:File:Rainbow trout.png]] shows "Rainbow_trout.png (300 × 300 pixels, file size: 158 KB, MIME type: image/png)"
* For non-square images, use these figures to construct an expression for the {{para|width''n''}} parameters, of the form:
** <code><nowiki>
{{#expr:</nowiki> (''dh'' * ''ow'' / ''oh'') round 0<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* where
** ''dh'' is the desired height in pixels (100)
** ''ow'' is the original width in pixels (750 or 300)
** ''oh'' is the original height in pixels (536 or 300)
* For ''square'' images, simply set the appropriate {{para|width''n''}} to be the desired height. If all are square, only {{para|width}} needs to be set.
{{multiple image
| footer = The two images are both rendered 100 pixels high
| align = right

| image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
| width1 = {{#expr: (100 * 750 / 536) round 0}}
| alt1 = A donkey
| caption1 = A donkey, not square and originally 536 pixels high

| image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
| width2 = 100
| alt2 = A trout
| caption2 = A fish, square and originally 300 pixels high
}}
<pre style="overflow: auto;">
