'''Article(s):''' [[National Treasures of Japan]]

'''Request:''' During the [[ Talk:National Treasures of Japan/GA1|good article candidacy]] it has been suggested to have a more fancy picture for the lead section than the [[:File:Protection of Cultural Properties Logo.png|present]]. An idea would be to combine several pictures of national treasures of various types. I am not good with image manipulation so I ask the help of an expert here. Pictures can be found in any of the [[Lists of National Treasures of Japan]] or in the subcategories of [[:commons:Category:National Treasures of Japan]]. Maybe four or six pictures could be combined into one mosaic. I leave it up to the graphist to select the pictures. I would suggest taking pictures from different categories. Maybe one each of: temples, castles, paintings, sculptures, writings (or ancient documents) and crafts (crafts-others or crafts-swords) would make a good mix of six pictures.

'''Graphist opinion(s):''' Would this do?<br />

::It would be better if it could have two horizontal rows and two vertical columns, ie. make it a square instead of a panorama.[[User:Maunus|·Maunus·<span class="Unicode">ƛ</span>·]] 16:15, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Ah, OK. Sorry - thought you wanted something to go along the top of the article. I'll create another mosaic, square this time. -- [[User:DMS|DMS]] ([[User_talk:DMS|talk]]) 16:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Also it would be great if you could make a map effect so that a mouse over would tell what the different pictures depict.[[User:Maunus|·Maunus·<span class="Unicode">ƛ</span>·]] 21:01, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::Will this image be suitable? If it is, I can do the image map thing. :)

:::::OK, I've added the image map code to this image, so each bit links to the appropriate original image, with mouseover text saying what each image shows. Is this what you mean? -- [[User:DMS|DMS]] ([[User_talk:DMS|talk]]) 21:45, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I have nothing against using custom images for this task, but I'd like to suggest an alternative method of generating the mosaic – plain images along with some tables & CSS. (As can be seen on the right.) This should have the advantage of being easier to customize (later). —[[User:Quibik|Quibik]] ([[User talk:Quibik|talk]]) 21:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

:Good point. Well, you now have a choice of different ways of achieving what you want, here, Maunus. :) -- [[User:DMS|DMS]] ([[User_talk:DMS|talk]]) 05:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

::I like both, but I think I'll go with the second as any of the images can be switched for another if an editor finds a better image later on. Thanks for helping out with this![[User:Maunus|·Maunus·<span class="Unicode">ƛ</span>·]] 06:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
