The following example code includes a 1,500 pixels wide image of the [[Augustiner-Keller]] entrance sign. It The code generates a scrollbar below the image only on browser and systems that are otherwise not wide enough to display the full width of the image width completely without sideways scrolling of the entire browser window itself:
:<nowiki>{{wide image|Augustiner-Keller 036.jpg|1500px|Augustiner-Keller}}</nowiki>
{{wide image|Augustiner-Keller 036.jpg|1500px|Augustiner-Keller}}
Using the wide image method is recommened for when displaying images that are to be displayed wider than 600 pixels, since it prevents them from stretching beyond individual browser's natural widths, which would otherwise also force subsequent text-paragraphs of the entire page to require sideways scrolling of the entire browser window itself when viewed on narrow screen screens of hand-held devices such as hand-held browsers PDAs and certain mini-small netbooks.
{{wide image|Schlosswirtschaft Mariabrunn 049.jpg|1500px|View of Munich city from [[Schlosswirtschaft Mariabrunn|Mariabrunn]] with the alps behind.|45%|left}}
</nowiki>
The width of the scroll-box can also be defined in exact pixels rather than a percentage of a paragraph. If the alignment value is ommited, the default will be the maximum width of the paragraph as defined by the browser window , as in the above example with the Augustiner entrance sign above.
The ''alignment'' value can be '''left''', '''right''', '''center''', or '''none''' (same result as if omitted altogether).
