History Administrivia / MultiPartPicture

Page images on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki are often made by combining several different pictures, either as multiple frames or a collage.

** Examples include UnlimitedWardrobe, LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, and VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame.

[[Administrivia/ExampleSectionectomy No Examples Please]]. This just describes the concept.

Although [[TropesAreTools Multi-Part Pictures can be a useful way to illustrate a trope]], there are some caveats.

* '''To show examples in several works:''' Many tropes are widespread, so sometimes it's a good way to show its popularity or [[Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible range]].

* '''To show several examples in a single work:''' Some tropes are about something with multiple elements, but it's not often they shown in the same frame, or not in a way that makes a good picture (such as not shrinking well in cluttered pictures). So we make pictures of the elements from several parts of the work.

* '''To compare or contrast elements:''' Many tropes involve a comparison between two things. We do this when those things don't appear together in the same frame.

* If illustrating the trope is compromised when the frames are shrunken down. If six frames look good at 300 pixels wide each, but not so good at 150 pixels wide, then it might be best just to go with one to three frames at the larger size.

Page images on ThisWiki are often made by combining several different pictures, either as multiple frames or a collage. Sure it would be nice if every trope could be shown with a single {{canon}} picture[[labelnote:*]](even if the single picture itself has multiple panels, such as a comic)[[/labelnote]], but while it's actually pretty common, it doesn't always happen. Therefore we find times when a trope is better illustrated by a Multi-Part Picture.

* '''To show "before" and "after":''' When a single image does not show both cause and effect, or the trope involves the passage of time, using more than one frame is effective.
