This page is under construction. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
This page aims to be an incomplete collection of example LifeViewer configuration scripts which can be used on LifeWiki for different kinds of patterns.
This is not an authoritative list. There may be LifeViewer configurations that are not listed here but are frequently used.
This page assumes that the viewer is shown outside the infobox.

Small patterns without animation
One viewer
- viewerconfig
- #C [[ THUMBSIZE 3 ZOOM 42 HEIGHT 600 ]]

- (using {{EmbedViewer}} with rle = (shown below))
| Herschel (click above to open LifeViewer) |
- rle
x = 3, y = 4, rule = B3/S23 o$3o$obo$2bo!
Multiple viewers (galleryContainer+galleryItem)

| Herschel great-grandparent (click above to open LifeViewer) |

Explanation
This example is formatted in the following way,
<div class="galleryContainer"> <div class="galleryItem">viewer</div> <div class="galleryItem">viewer</div> <div class="galleryItem">viewer</div> <div class="galleryItem">viewer</div> <div class="galleryItem">viewer</div> </div>
where each occurrence of "viewer" is replaced by an invocation of the {{EmbedViewer}} template. Viewers in this example are formatted as follows:
{{EmbedViewer
|rle = (paste RLE here)
|viewerconfig = #C [[ THUMBSIZE 4 ZOOM 40 HEIGHT 500 ]]
|position = center
|caption = (displayed caption)
|style = width:100px;
}}
Note that if a caption does not fit on a single line, the vertical size of the box containing the viewer increases. When possible, it's better to keep captions in galleries short, and put more detailed explanations / descriptions of the patterns in the surrounding text.

Explanation
This example is formatted as a table,

where each occurrence of "viewer" is replaced by an invocation of the {{EmbedViewer}} template. Viewers in this example are formatted as follows:
{{EmbedViewer

Note that if a caption does not fit on a single line, the vertical size of the box containing the viewer increases. When possible, it's better to keep captions in galleries short, and put more detailed explanations / descriptions of the patterns in the surrounding text.
