Template:Annotated image/doc

The main purpose of this template is to add explanatory notes to images in the form of actual text, which is usually more legible than text built into the image - especially if the image is reduced to thumbnail size.

The template can also be used to crop an image, excluding unimportant parts and perhaps enlarging important parts.

Usage
For examples see Template:Annotated image/doc/Samples.

All parameters have names - there are no nameless "numbered" parameters.

Two of the parameters, image and imagemap, are mutually exclusive - use one of them but not both.

In most cases you will need only the required parameters - the rest are there in case you want additional formatting options.
