Description

This template creates a bar of similar icons.

It is the basic version of the bar templates and called by the more comfortable {{Bar}} template. It uses the {{Bar simple}} template.

It handles

• Putting tags around the simple bar(s).
• Displaying a range of values.

It handles not

• Missing parameters -> Has to be done by calling template.
• Displaying plain text if non-numeric -> Has to be done by calling template.
• Price ranges -> Has to be done by calling template.
• Avoid the whole display wrapping around lines -> Has to be done by calling template.
• Display the bar of icons itself -> Uses the {{Bar simple}} template for that.

Syntax

Type {{Bar main|<type>|<number>|<options>}} somewhere.

• <type> is the basic filename e.g. armour. The user must first provide a couple of images in advance: 0armour.png, 1armour.png, ..., 10armour.png to be able to display the respective icon bar. The images (at least that for 10) must have a small clear left margin, so when joined together, they look equally distributed. Defaut is hearts. There is a special display for coins.
• <number> is the number of icons to be displayed. The number must be numeric and will be rounded to the nearest integer. Default is 0. Causes error, when non-numeric! The <number> can also be a range of two numbers 17-23 and then will dispay two bars for the respective numbers.
• <options> the options are so far:
  • ext=<extension> extension of the filename .jpg, .gif, ... default is .png
  • size=<size> height of the bar in px. Default is original size.
    You can also use a symbolic name here, like infobox, which selects a predefined size as defined in the {{Bar height}} template.
  • notag=1 to suppress the number tag around the bar. Default is tag shown.
  • tooltip=<text> to define the text, which is shown, when hovering over the bar, default is the <number> parameter.
  • link=<text> to define the link, where the bar links to. Defaults are defined in the {{Bar link}} template.
