Overview

The module allows you to add one or more images to a page, each of which can link to another page, file or site.  The Images can be displayed in a list, or as a scrolling display, or as a slide show

Images can be displayed as a list, as a scrolling list, as a slide show, or a single image.  How the images are displayed and when depends on the control type selected

Horizontal List (and Scrolling List)

Each image has a link to another page, website, or file.  If enabled, the images will scroll across the page.  Or if the list is aligned vertically up or down.

Slide Show

The images are shown individually.   You can set the height and width of the image, the transition style, and the delay between images.

 Buttons

The images are shown individually.  You can set the height and width of the image, and  the transition style. Another image will be displayed when the user clicks a button

 Random

A single image, chosen at random from the list will be displayed when you load the page. The size of the image is that set when you added it to the list.

This affects how you see any descriptive text, and what you see when you hover over an image.  If you have added a description and you choose to show it, this will appear under the image.

If you check 'Enable Scrolling':

 the image will scroll in the direction you select (and yes, a horizontal list will scroll up or down!). Available directions are:

Set the scroll amount.  This is as a percentage of your image list width

Set the delay between subsequent scroll events.  This is in milliseconds

Slide Show / Buttons Options

The transitions are:

Set the delay between slide changes (in milliseconds)

Set the Height / Width of the image.  Leaving one or the other blank will preserve the aspect ratio

If you have selected 'Buttons', this:
