temp-graphics/carousel.png

Displays a carousel. A carousel displays a sequence of images. Optionally, the displayed image may have an overlay displaying the title, lead text, comments count or related item of the content item the image represents.

By default a film strip is displayed below the main image, showing thumbnail views of other items in the carousel. This filmstrip displays a limited number of images (four by default), but can include navigation buttons that allow the reader to view all the images in the carousel. Clicking on an image in the film strip displays it in the carousel's main view. Clicking on the main view displays the content item represented by the image.
