The {{EmbedViewer}} template can be used to embed a floating LifeViewer applet in an article, using an RLE code snippet (either from the RLE: namespace, or specified directly as a parameter).
Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:
Pattern: one of:
- rle: RLE snippet.
- pname: name of the RLE snippet stored in the RLE: namespace (without the RLE: prefix).
Other:
- position: position.
- Possible values are left (floating left), right (floating right) and center. Default: right.
- style: additional CSS styling. Default:
- position = right: margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em
- position = left: margin-right: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em
- position = center: (none)
- viewerconfig: additional LifeViewer configuration to use.
- This may include waypoint animation commands, theme or color settings, labels, arrows or polylines, etc.
- See LifeViewer Help for details - click on LifeViewer, type h, then choose Scripts.
- To prevent cell distortion, even integer values may be preferable for ZOOM parameters assuming THUMBSIZE 2 (more generally, multiples of THUMBSIZE).[1]
- caption: the caption to use.
- apgcode: adds a Catagolue link at the bottom to a specific apgcode.
- Defaults to B3/S23; for other rules, append a slash followed by the rulestring e.g. xq48_07z8ca7zy1e531/b36s23 for the HighLife bomber
Example: the viewer at the right was created using the following call:
{{EmbedViewer
|pname = richsp16
|viewerconfig = #C [[ AUTOSTART GPS 4 THUMBSIZE 2 ]]
|caption = [[Rich's p16]]
}}
It could also have been created directly without defining the "richsp16" pname and adding the RLE to the RLE:richsp16 article, as follows:
{{EmbedViewer
|rle = 3bo5bo$2b3o3b3o$bobobobobobo$2obobobobob2o$ob4ob4obo$5o3b5o3$4b2ob2o$
3bobobobo$4bo3bo!
|position = right
|viewerconfig = #C [[ AUTOSTART GPS 4 THUMBSIZE 2 ]]
|caption = [[Rich's p16]]
}}
