The first gallery shown corresponds exactly with the second gallery in sample 06. The height of the images is limited, which creates a very even overall impression only disturbed by one point: The different proportions of the thumbnails. The second gallery shows an alternative:

The different behavior of the second gallery is caused by the usage of the - available since version 1.6.0 - parameter "Crop thumbnails". It allows to switch from thumbnails scaled proportionally to thumbnails cropped to meet the set maximum values.

If you are using other settings than the shown above in the plugins configuration panel and want to configure just the current gallery, it is possible to extend the code in your article with Parameter Overrides (refer Plugin Howto Code). The settings for the gallery shown above are:

• height=287
• imquality=90
• align=1
• twidth=90
• theight=60
• crop=crop
• quality=80

• autolink=0
• script=1
• hover=0
• preload=0
• tooltip=0
• folderid=0

You don't have to use all parameters in your code but only the ones that differ from the settings in the plugins configuration panel. For example:

{*vsig}verysimple|width=430|align=1{/vsig*} - (without the asterisks)
