Dimensions

From Sega Retro

This template was designed to give a more visual representation of dimensions, because it seemed like a good idea two days ago in my head.

Problems with it:

  • a) I half-arsed the depths because I couldn't be bothered to do the maths, so those appear shorter than they should
  • b) The labels aren't centred properly. I was hoping if you put them in the middle and did text-align:center it would sort itself out, but appears not
  • c) It only accepts metric units, which is bad because most of the dimensions listed on this wiki are in inches. I've done the conversions before but that template formats things as well - the bits dealing with raw numbers need splitting out so the functionality can be shared.
  • d) it struggles when things get too small, because font sizes are fixed

The diagramsize argument is a bit flimsy too - something more intelligent will also be needed if we're to do size comparisons for whatever reason.

but yes, this is a thing, use/improve it -Black Squirrel (talk) 14:50, 21 June 2018 (CDT)
