Line 7:
* '''To show several examples in a single work:''' Some tropes are about something with multiple elements, but it's not often they shown in the same frame, or not in a way that makes a good picture (such as not shrinking well in cluttered pictures). So we make pictures of the elements from several parts of the work.
** Examples include [[Unlimited Wardrobe]], [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], and [[Lego Adaptation Game]].
* '''To show "before" and "after":'''
** Examples include [[Before and After Pictures]], [[Took a Level In Badass]], and [[Adrenaline Makeover]].
* '''To compare or contrast elements:''' Many tropes involve a comparison between two things. We do this when those things don't appear together in the same frame.
Line 14:
** Examples include [[Bridge Logic]], [[Body Count Competition]], and [[Standard Female Grab Area]]<ref>(which ''is'' a comic, but the frames are reordered)</ref>.
Although [[Tropes Are Tools|Multi-Part Pictures can be a useful way to illustrate a trope]], there are some caveats. A common problem is
* If a sequence can be shown in X number of frames, then any
** [[Emerging From the Shadows]] had [[media:hayley_shows_herself_9257.jpg|this three panel image in ykttw]], but was swapped for the current two panel image, as the middle frame didn't add anything.
* Extra frames are bad when they show basically the same thing as other frames.
** The picture on [[Princess Classic]] was [[media:princess_of_wonderland.jpg|two frames]], but one was taken out due to showing the same information.
* If illustrating the trope is compromised when the frames are shrunken down. If six frames look good at 300 pixels wide each, but not so good at 150 pixels wide, then it might be best just to go with one to three frames at the larger size.
Compare [[Split-Screen Reaction]], [[Before and After Pictures]].
