Examples

The main function of {{Panorama}}, as opposed to {{Wide image}}, is that the template allows you to specify a desired height of the panorama.

Blank invocation

{{Panorama
|image   = Example.jpg
|height  = 
|width   = 
|alt     = 
|caption = 
|dir     = 
|align   =
}}

Commented invocation

{{Panorama
|image   = File:Example.jpg <!-- Must start with "File:" -->
|height  = 300 <!-- Height of image. In pixels, no units. Use Template:Wide_image to set the width instead -->
|width   = <!-- Limit the width of Frame enclosing the image. Include units e.g. 9px or 9%. Default is based on width of web browser -->
|alt     = <!-- Alternate text for visually impaired readers. -->
|caption = <!-- Caption/text to render below the image -->
|dir     = <!-- Can be: ltr (default) or rtl. Should scroll bar start at the very left (ltr = left-to-right) or very right (rtl)?  -->
|align   = <!-- Frame alignment. Can be: left (default), right, center, or none. -->
}}

Simple example

{{Panorama
|image   = Ushuaia_panorama_from_seaside_big.jpg
|height  = 230
|alt     = A small city across a gray waterway under lowering gray clouds. A road leads to the city across a causeway. Mountains with snow and a low treeline form the backdrop. A few boats are in the water.
|caption = Panorama of Ushuaia from 2005-02-06
}}

This displays File:Ushuaia panorama from seaside big.jpg, which is 7370×1010 pixels, as 1678×230, in a horizontally scrolling box, using the caption and alt text provided.

Panorama of Ushuaia from 2005-02-06

Smaller

Same as the previous example, but with |height=80.

Panorama of Ushuaia from 2005-02-06

The caption can be centered by replacing |caption=Text with |caption={{center|Text}}. In the example above, replacing |caption= with |caption = {{center|Panorama of Ushuaia from 2005-02-06}} produces:

Panorama of Ushuaia from 2005-02-06

Right-to-left scrolling

Same as the example, but with |dir=rtl.

Panorama of Ushuaia from 2005-02-06
