 * Bar chart 4 data series (columns) 25 values
 * Bar box, shows bar chart with a text column after the bars or bar-pairs uses bar percent and bar pixel
 * Bartable adds a composition bar within a wikitable
 * Composition bar for 1 data item between 0 and 100
 * Pie chart, shows upto 15 pie wedges in a circular pie chart
 * Brick chart, 9 blocks- shows brick segments in a rectangular "pie chart"- useful for seats in a council
 * Vertical bar chart 20 bars- with legend (does not meet accessibility guidelines due to the lack of alternative text)
 * Line chart 10 data series- 25 values

Example
The following code:

{{legend|red|Series 1}} {{legend|blue|Series 2}} {{legend|green|series 3}} renders:

{{legend|red|Series 1}} {{legend|blue|Series 2}} {{legend|green|Series 3}}

Images and maps
Easy method to add a map to the infobox of an article is to use this code. | module = To add a map of any point, we must define the centre of the map, then say where to place the marker. This was done automatically in the example above

This map is a chloropleth meaning it displays the data relating to an area by means of a colour. It is best to use ColorBrewer to choose the colours needed.

A shortened article to demonstrate references and code


A council house is a form of public or social housing built by local municipalities in the United Kingdom and Ireland. A council estate is a building complex containing a great many council houses and other amenities like schools and shops. Council houses were solidly built and distinctive in design which evolved over the period of their construction from 1919 to 1980. There were local design variation but they all stuck rigidly to Local Authority building standards

House design in the United Kingdom is defined by a series of Housing Acts.
 * Context

First World War housing
Woolwich Borough Council was responsible for the Well Hall Estate designed for workers at the munition factories at Woolwich Arsenal. The estate and the house were built to the garden suburb philosophy: houses were all different. The estate received the royal seal of approval when on Friday, 24 March 1916, Queen Mary made an unannounced visit.

Interwar housing
A programme of council house building started after the First World War following on from the David Lloyd George’s government’s Housing Act of 1919. The 'Addison Act' brought in subsidies for council house building and aimed to provide 500,000 "homes fit for heroes" within a three-year period although less than half of this target was met. The Housing Act of 1935 led to a continuation of this policy and the war stopped all construction and enemy action reduced the usable housing stock.

Post-war housing
The immediate post-war period saw the building of prefab bungalows with a design life of ten years. Innovative steel-framed properties were also tried in an attempt to speed up construction. The Burt Committee, saw an anticipated 200,000 shortfall in post-war housing stock, by building 500,000 prefabricated houses, with a planned life of up to 10 years. Only 156,623 prefab houses were constructed.
 * Prefabs

In particular, Aneurin Bevan, the Minister for Health and Housing, promoted a vision of new estates where "the working man, the doctor and the clergyman will live in close proximity to each other".
 * New Towns Act housing

Homes fit for heroes houses (1918-1923)
The Addison Act 1919 houses were usually three bedroomed houses with lounge and scullery- or lounge, dining room and scullery. Some had two, four or five bedrooms, and generously sized back gardens intended for vegetable growing. At the best they were built at 12 houses per acre. Seen In Downham, Watling Estate and Becontree

Labour government homes (1924-1930)
The Addison Act 1919, and the severe housing shortage in the early 1920s created the first generation of houses to feature electricity, running water, bathrooms, indoor toilets and front/rear gardens.

The Chamberlain Act 1923 reduced the expected standards. The Wheatley Act 1924 attempted to restore some of them. Under the Addison Act a house would be 1000 ft2 but after 1924 it would be 620 ft2. This was a major period of council house construction.

Temporary prefabs (1941-1950)


All prefab units approved by the Ministry of Works had a minimum floor space size of 635 sqft, and the sections were less than 7.5 ft wide.

Pre-cast reinforced concrete
These were build by prefabrication techniques but had an expected design life of 60 years. They included various kinds such as Airey, Cornish, Wates, Unity, Reema, Tarran, Woolaway and Parkinson types.

Parker Morris homes 1971
The Parker Morris Committee drew up an influential 1961 report on housing space standards in public housing in the United Kingdom titled Homes for Today and Tomorrow. Out of the report came the Parker Morris Standards. the external temperature is −1 °C.
