--- title: "Image Rendering" version: "main" source: "Configuration/ImageRendering/Index.rst" modified: "2026-09-14T15:00:59+00:00" --- # Image Rendering Bootstrap Package comes with a very flexible responsive image rendering and supports multiple variants for various device sizes. Each variant defines the **break point**, **width** and the optional **sizes** for high resolution image support. **Table of Contents:** - [Image Variants](#image-variants) - [Crop Variants](#crop-variants) ## Image Variants Image variants are used to represent the breakpoints of the design. These variants have to be defined according the definitions in the style sheet. Bootstrap Package defines these variants by default: ```typoscript lib.contentElement.settings.responsiveimages.variants { default { breakpoint = 1200 width = 1100 } large { breakpoint = 992 width = 920 } medium { breakpoint = 768 width = 680 } small { breakpoint = 576 width = 500 } extrasmall { breakpoint = unset width = 374 } } ``` The **breakpoint** defines the minimal device width where the **width** gets applied. Having a device with a width of 1200 pixels or more uses an image width of 1100 pixels, devices of 992 up to 1199 pixels width use an image width of 920 pixels and so on. For each of these variants the multiplier of size **1x** is set to 1, see next section for more about the high-resolution image support: - default - breakpoint - width - sizes - 1x - multiplier: 1 Example of changing the default configuration for the default variant. ```typoscript lib.contentElement.settings.responsiveimages.variants { default { breakpoint = 1200 width = 1100 } ``` ### High Resolution Images There is a key called sizes in every variant that should be rendered. This dataset consists of several entries, each with a default key for a normal rendering (1x). This key will be added automatically, and it is always available. It is not possible to store sizes smaller than 1. Each size contains a multiplier, which is multiplied by the base size. Example calculations: Base width: 1000px - Minimum Device Pixel Ratio = 1 - Multiplier = 1 - Result: 1000px - Minimum Device Pixel Ratio = 1.5 - Multiplier = 1.25 - Result: 1250px - Minimum Device Pixel Ratio = 2 - Multiplier = 1.5 - Result: 1500px Example configuration to enable high-resolution support for the default variant for devices with a minimum device pixel ratio from 1.5 and 2. ```typoscript lib.contentElement.settings.responsiveimages.variants { default { sizes { 1\.5x { multiplier = 1.5 } 2x { multiplier = 2 } } } } ``` The data for image rendering is now extended with a sub-set for high-resolution variants. If you did not overwrite the default templates, it will just work as soon as you add the configuration. If you have overwritten the default templates, it will still work as before, but you need to add the new support for high-resolution images yourself. Please check the new updated templates and adjust your code if you want this support. ### Configuration by Variant For each **variant** the following configuration options are possible: - breakpoint - width - aspectRatio - sizes ### Configuration by Backend Layout For each **backend layout** the following configuration options are possible for each defined **column** and **variant**: - multiplier - gutters - corrections Example configuration for backend layouts. ```typoscript lib.contentElement.settings.responsiveimages.backendlayout { my_layout { # this is the BE layout 0 { # this is the column to be modified multiplier { default = 0.75 large = 0.75 } gutters { default = 40 large = 40 } corrections { default = 25 large = 25 } } } } ``` ### Configuration by Content Element For each **content element** the following configuration options are possible for each defined **variant** or **specific property**: - multiplier - gutters - corrections Example configuration for content elements. ```typoscript lib.contentElement.settings.responsiveimages.contentelements { my_content_element { # this is the content element my_custom_property { # this is a content element specific property, depends on the implementation and is optional multiplier { default = 0.5 large = 0.5 medium = 0.5 } gutters { default = 24 large = 24 medium = 24 } corrections { default = 25 large = 25 medium = 25 small = 50 extrasmall = 50 } } } } ``` ### Configuration options explained Options for variants: | Property | Data Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | breakpoint | integer | Defines the minimal width in pixels of the device | | width | integer | Defines the effective width in pixels for images for this variant | | aspectRatio | float | Optional, defines the default aspect ratio which will override all previously defined ratios on image level | | sizes | array | Optional, defines the available high resolution image multiplier for a minimal device pixel ratio per variant | Options for backend layouts and content elements: | Property | Data Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | multiplier | integer | The width is multiplied with this value | | gutters | integer | This value is added to the width before applying the multiplier and substracted afterwards | | corrections | integer | This value is added as last step to the width after all other calculations | The options **gutters** and **corrections** are needed if you want to be pixel perfect. Means if you have a 1 pixel outline for example and want this to be subtracted from the width you can do this kind of corrections late in the calculation process. - Example [Accordion](https://github.com/benjaminkott/bootstrap_package/blob/master/Configuration/TypoScript/ContentElement/Element/Accordion.typoscript#L44): Here a correction is added to remove the inner padding of the container. - Example [Card Group](https://github.com/benjaminkott/bootstrap_package/blob/master/Configuration/TypoScript/ContentElement/Element/CardGroup.typoscript#L50): The border is substracted here. ## Crop Variants The Bootstrap Package predefines some cropping variants which can easily be changed or extended by your sitepackage. The following crop variants are defined by default: - 16:9, for a fixed ratio - 4:3, for a fixed ratio - 1:1, for a fixed ratio - NaN, for a free ration
