General Notes
-
As the inspiration for this component comes from Google Photos, very small thumbnails may not be the most aesthetically pleasing due to the border size applied when selected. A sensible rowHeight default of 180px has been chosen, but rowHeights down to 100px are still reasonable.
-
Gallery width is determined by the containing element.
-
Image Options: thumbnail
can point to the same resource as src
, bearing in mind the resultant data size of the gallery and page load cost. Thumbnails of whatever size will be scaled to match rowHeight
.
-
If you don't know your thumbnailWidth
and thumbnailHeight
values, you can find these out using any number of javascript hacks, bearing in mind the load penalty associated with these methods.
