This map image was uploaded in a raster image format such as PNG, GIF, or JPEG. However, it contains information that could be stored more efficiently and/or accurately in the SVG format, as a vector graphic.
If possible, please upload an SVG version of this image. After doing so, please replace all instances of the previous version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the “File links” header), tag the old version with {{Vector version available|NewImage.svg}}, and remove this tag. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload. For assistance with converting to SVG, please see the Graphics Lab.

(so that it does not get stretch such as on Third Punic War)

Created by GMT (Generic Mapping Tools, gmt.soest.hawaii.edu), an open source cartographic software, using the map data that comes packaged with GMT. The map data were derived by the authors of GMT from two public domain databases. See Appendix K of The Generic Mapping Tools Version 3.4.4 Technical Reference and Cookbook.

Commands to create this map:

$ pscoast -Jm0.25i -R7/20/33/43 -G255/240/100 -S100/200/255 -P -V -W1/255/255/120 -N1/1/150/150/150  -Dh -K > carthage_location.ps
$ psxy -Jm0.25i -R7/20/33/43 -Sc0.15  -G255/0/0 -V -P -O >> carthage_location.ps
$ ps2epsi carthage_location.ps
$ mogrify -format png carthage_location.epsi

pscoast and psxy are from GMT. mogrify is from ImageMagick. ps2epsi is invoked solely to trim the bounding box down to just the size of the map image.
