=== Horizontal placement ===
Vertical direction places the images on one column, while horizontal direction places the images on one row:

{{multiple image
| align     = left
| direction = vertical
| header    = vertical
| width     = 60
| image1    = Ribbon numeral 2.png
| image2    = Ribbon numeral 3.png
| image3    = Ribbon numeral 4.png
}}

{{multiple image
| align     = right
| direction = horizontal
| header    = horizontal
| width     = 60
| image1    = Ribbon numeral 2.png
| image2    = Ribbon numeral 3.png
| image3    = Ribbon numeral 4.png
}}

==== 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.
