|height= 200
}}
{{Image
|position = left

add a frame

It's possible to add a frame to the external and VLIZ picture gallery images. To add the default frame you can use the code

{{Image
|position = left
|margin = 5px 5px 5px 5px
|vlizpicid= 25165
|captionposition = left
|fontsize = 80
|caption = auteur: [http://www.vliz.be/wetenschatten/beeldbank.php?album=1218&pic=25165 E. Sacré in De Zuttere (1909)]
|hover = De vismijn te Oostende. (De Zuttere 1909)
|link = http://www.vliz.be/wetenschatten/beeldbank.php?album=1218&pic=25165
|height = 200
frame = yes
}}

Which renders

auteur: E. Sacré in De Zuttere (1909)

There are 3 optional parameters to customize this frame:

• frame: adding randing text to this parameters (in the example above "yes") summons the frame. However this parameter can also be used to set the thickness and color of the frame. The default value is 1px solid #aaa. To use frames of different colors you can use HEX color codes.
• framecolor: Omitting this parameter shows the frame the default color #f9f9f9. To select different background colors you can use HEX color codes.
• framemargin: the margin between the picture and the border of the frame. Default value is 10px.

The following example of a customized frame

{{Image
|position = left
|margin = 5px 5px 5px 5px
|vlizpicid= 25165
|captionposition = left
|fontsize = 80
|caption = auteur: [http://www.vliz.be/wetenschatten/beeldbank.php?album=1218&pic=25165 E. Sacré in De Zuttere (1909)]
|hover = De vismijn te Oostende. (De Zuttere 1909)
|link = http://www.vliz.be/wetenschatten/beeldbank.php?album=1218&pic=25165
|height = 200
|frame = yes
|frameborder = 3px solid #0059b3
|framecolor =  #00ff55
|framemargin = 5
}}

would render the following
