Template:Composition bar compact/doc

Template page

This template displays the numeric composition of a thing in terms of its sub-units. For example, it is frequently used as part of {{Infobox political party}} to show the number of seats a given political party holds in a legislature. It is a one-line variation of the two-line, fixed width Template:Composition bar.

Usage

{{Composition bar compact|amount|total|bar-color|options...}}
amount
The first parameter is the number of sub-units.
total
The second parameter is the total number of sub-units possible.
bar-color
(default is medium-light grey) The third parameter is the background color of the left part of the bar - a valid web color, which can be specified by name, as a hex triplet (#rrbbgg), or rgb triplet (rgb(0–255,0–255,0–255)).
In the case of political parties, most will have their logo color available in Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Political party/T' not found. templates.

Additional display options:

background-color=...
(default is light grey) is the background color of the right part of the bar - a valid web color.
color=...
(default is inherit) is the color of the text
text-shadow=...
(default is white) is the color of the shadow around the text
border=...
(default is medium grey) is the color of a border around the bar, or "none" for no border
width=...
(default is 100px) is the width of the bar, set to "auto" for inline use, "100%" for most table uses (unitless numbers are interpreted as px)
per=...
(default is false), when set to any value (true), adds a percentage to the bar as well
perstyle=...
(default is none), additional style declarations for the percentage text

Some older Web browsers do not render text-shadows, so the text should ideally have enough contrast on its own. If the bar color is dark, lighten the text color, and darken the background-color and text-shadow. See the second and third examples below. Snook's Colour Contrast Check may be used to check compliance with WCAG guidelines for contrast.
