[edit] Template:Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway Map

Not sure what you point now is as the negative scaling has been removed. The map is 780px wide and all the positional co-ordinates are below this figure. Can you help me with an example of what the issue is? --Stewart ^(talk) 16:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[1]: "Keep both widths and scales greater than zero and exactly the same in each template. For example, if width is 300, then all the scales must also be 300." - scale should be: scale=780. -- Zondor 16:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Not entirely sure how this works as any changes - increasing the scale for 1 to 780 - I am making is losing the text labels, and corrupting the template. --Stewart ^(talk) 17:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

A dilemma, indeed. It would need for both the scale and width to be the same for the scaling to work. -- Zondor 17:05, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I can fix this. Dividing each existing x and y co-ord by 780 seems to give the correct figure. I'm working on it now. --Dreamer84 17:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Done, I think? --Dreamer84 17:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Oops - is there a conflicting edit here. I think I managed to crack it using some function manipulation in excel. --Stewart ^(talk) 17:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I did it the old fashioned (and much slower) way with just a calculator. :( Never mind, yours is more precise Stewart. --Dreamer84 17:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Well done! -- Zondor 17:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
