Template:Location map many/doc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creates a location map as a composite image of an existing map in equirectangular projection, with multiple (up to 9) markers and optional labels superimposed onto it. This template functions in the style of Template:Location_map, but allows 9 markers and labels (rather than just one marker). Note: For brevity, parameters "pos" & "bg" are aliases (for "position" & "background").
- Also see: For an unlimited list of markers/labels, see: Template:Location_map+,
- which specifies points as a coded template list of markers/labels.
[edit] Usage
{{Location map many
|locname (selected from templates named "Location_map_<locname>")
------------------------------------------- 1st label & marker
|label = 1st label text
|label_size = 1st label font size, percent (such as "85")
|position = pos = left or right or top or bottom – position of
1st label relative to 1st mark (default: right)
|background = bg = background color for 1st label, defaults transparent
|lon_dir=W 1st longitude direction: W=west, E=east (default)
|lat_dir=S 1st latitude direction: S=south, N=north (default)
|lat_deg = 1st latitude degrees (negative to indicate south)
|lat_min = 1st latitude minutes (negative to indicate south)
|lat_sec = 1st latitude seconds (or use combined lat)
|lon_deg = 1st longitude degrees (negative to indicate west)
|lon_min = 1st longitude minutes (negative to indicate west)
|lon_sec = 1st longitude seconds (or use combined long)
|lat = 1st latitude (as decimal; negative for south latitude)
|long = 1st longitude (as decimal; negative for west longitude)
|mark = 1st marker image file name, a red dot by default
|marksize = 1st marker size in pixels (0=skip marker, default=8)
|markhigh = 1st marker height, default=8
------------------------------------------- 2nd label & marker
|label2 = 2nd label text
|label2_size = 2nd label font size, percent (such as "85")
|position2 = pos2 = left or right or top or bottom – position of
2nd label relative to 2nd mark (default: right)
|background2 = bg2 = background color for 2nd label, defaults transparent
|lat2_deg = 2nd latitude degrees (negative to indicate south)
|lat2_min = 2nd latitude minutes (negative to indicate south)
|lat2_sec = 2nd latitude seconds (or use combined lat2)
|lon2_deg = 2nd longitude degrees (negative to indicate west)
|lon2_min = 2nd longitude minutes (negative to indicate west)
|lon2_sec = 2nd longitude seconds (or use combined long2)
|lat2 = 2nd latitude (as decimal; negative for south latitude)
|long2 = 2nd longitude (as decimal; negative for west longitude)
|mark2 = 2nd marker image file name, a red dot by default
|mark2size = 2nd marker size in pixels (0=skip, default=8)
|mark2high = 2nd marker height, default=8
------------------------------------------- 3rd label & marker
|label3 = 3rd label text
|label3_size = 3rd label font size, percent (such as "120")
|pos3, bg3 = 3rd label position & background color
(... similar latitude/longitude parameters named "~3" ...)
|mark3 = 3rd marker image file name, a red dot by default
|mark3size = 3rd marker size in pixels (0=skip, default=8)
|mark3high = 3rd marker height, default=8
(...repeat until label9/mark9...)
-------------------------------------------
|border = border color or none
|caption = map caption; for no caption enter "caption=";
if omitted, then the caption will be auto-generated
as: "<marker #1 label> (<location map name>)"
|float = left or right or center or none for map placement
|width = map width for display size
|AlternativeMap = Alternative map file name (changes background map,
border coordinates are determined based on the map name);
this is only recommended for use in templates
}}
Parameter locname refers to {Template:Location map locname} containing the image name and coordinates of a particular map.
When a marker's mark#size=0, then that marker is skipped and only the related label is displayed, without the marker.
[edit] Advisory messages
Due to the numerous details of specifying 9 markers/labels, the latitude and longitude are checked to lie within the actual map limits specified in Template:Location_map_<parameter1>. Each marker/label is checked and can list a message (under the map), such as:
-
-
-
- Latitude#4 (45.68) < map min(53.74).
-
-
Processing continues, with that marker actually placed off-map, and all latitude/longitude parameters are checked, for a total of 18 possible advisory messages. Only degrees of latitude/longitude are checked, so a value of 63 minutes would be valid to indicate 1 extra degree + 3 minutes, and setting lon_min=200 could still place a marker off-map (right-side) with no warning. Also, large markers or long labels can spill over the edges of a map, allowing markers to point inward from outside the map. In such cases, a map could be centered by itself on the page ("float=center") to avoid overlapping the edge markers onto any surrounding article text.

List of live templates named Template:Location_map_<locname> (without "Template:" prefix here):
[edit] Creating new maps
- Find an appropriate blank map in equirectangular projection (otherwise, coordinates will drift off, typically further north)
- Create a template named "Template:Location_map_locname" (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values).
- Set default parameter values (using those parameter names), such as setting "mark" with image-file name and "marksize" for pixels wide/tall, or set default label font size ("label_size = 78" percent).
- Parameter names not used by "Template:Location_map" will be ignored by it, and only used for multiple-markers (such as defaulting "label2_size = 78" percent, or "mark2size=7" pixels).

[edit] Implementation notes
The map with markers/labels is implemented as nested HTML divisions. The map-image is in an HTML division, containing each point as a percent-locator division containing a marker-image sub-division plus a label sub-division. Each point is calculated (for a percent-locator division) with X or Y coordinate "XX.X%" or "YY.Y%" as follows:
- The div-tag is "<div style="position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: XX.X%; left: YY.Y%; ...>"
- For placing latitude, the calculation is:
-
- XX.X% = 100 * (top - (lat_deg + latmin/60 +latsec/3600) ) / (top - bottom)
- If lat_deg is empty, the combined decimal latitude is used from "lat".
- If lat_dir is "S" (south), the latitude is multiplied by -1.
- (Note latitude is positioned in reverse, from top of map downward.)
- For placing longitude, the calculation is:
-
- YY.Y% = 100 * ( (lon_deg + lonmin/60 +lonsec/3600) - left ) / (right - left)
- If lon_deg is empty, the combined decimal longitude is used as "long".
- If lon_dir is "W" (west), the longitude is multiplied by -1.
- The div-tag is ended as "height: 0; width: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">".
- Within that division the marker/label sub-divisions are coded as:
-
- <div style="position: relative text-align: center; ...">.
- For label position, the options are shifted as:
-
- when position=left, adds "left: -6.5em; text-align: right;"
- when position=right, adds "left: 0.5em; text-align: left;"
- when position=top, adds "top:-2.65em; left:-3em; text-align: center;"
- when position=bottom, adds "top:-0.15em; left: -3em; text-align: center;" to div-tag.
