For best results, and relatively easy math, a good one to use is the AR of [[BBC Wales]] programming in general: 1.77:1. So, if you're aiming for a 420px width, you know that your height would be 420 / 1.77, or 237px. A pic that's 420px wide x 237px tall will fit these requirements. Make a blank template with those dimensions in an image editor, and you can easily achieve exactly the right size, every time. Easy! | ||

While widescreen images are certainly preferred, we know there are times where a widescreen image just isn't possible. Some comic panels, for instance, are portrait-orientated, making it hard to get a widescreen image. Even so, if your aspect ratio is really small (meaning that the picture has significantly more height than width), you can test the limits of what the infobox code can handle. | While widescreen images are certainly preferred, we know there are times where a widescreen image just isn't possible.
