Template:United States Labelled Map

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Image label begin/doc. (edit | history)

There are far too many labelled image templates with widths and scales of -1 or are inconsistent. Please don't do that. 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. Thanks.

Fix

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.

This template will automatically categories the current template into: Category:Labelled image map templates.

[edit] How to use

Consider this example for Template:Australia Labelled Map:

{{Image label begin|width={{{width|400}}}|image=Australia location map recolored.png|float={{{float|none}}}}} 
{{Image label small|scale={{{width|400}}}|x=0.260|y=0.3450|text=[[Western Australia|Western Australia]]}}
{{Image label small|scale={{{width|400}}}|x=0.480|y=0.2000|text=[[Northern Territory|Northern Territory]]}}
{{Image label small|scale={{{width|400}}}|x=0.505|y=0.4025|text=[[South Australia|South Australia]]}}
...
{{Image label end}}

[edit] Width/Scale

In this example, all widths must be set to the same number of 400 as the default width. They must all be the same number of 400 for the template to be functionally scalable. This means they can be displayed at a different size by supplying a width parameter to the template when in use. For example, {{Australia Labelled Map|width=500}} will display the labelled image as a larger one of 500 pixels in width instead of 400.

To change the default size, put the wiki markup in Notepad, and search and replace "{{{width|400}}}" with "{{{width|500}}}".

For earthly geographic maps, conforming to these specifications can allow easier conversion to for any other purposes such as for the use of {{Location map+}}.

[edit] X/Y

X and Y values are always between 0 and 1. They represent the percentages of the width and height respectively where the label will be placed. The exact point is the top-left corner of the image label.

x=0  |y=0   will place the top-left corner of the label at the top-left     of the image
x=0  |y=1   will place the top-left corner of the label at the bottom-left  of the image
x=1  |y=1   will place the top-left corner of the label at the bottom-right of the image
x=1  |y=0   will place the top-left corner of the label at the top-right    of the image
x=0.5|y=0.5 will place the top-left corner of the label at the centre       of the image

[edit] Image

The title of the wiki page of the image without the "Image:" prefix.

[edit] Text

The text label to display as wiki markup.

[edit] Float

Three options:

{{{float|none}}}  makes the image sit on its own line of the page by default
{{{float|left}}}  makes the image pushed to the left of the page  by default
{{{float|right}}} makes the image pushed to the right of the page by default

[edit] Template set

{{Image label begin|image=Example.png|width=400|float=right}}
- {{Image label start}}
{{Image label|x=0.25|y=0.75|scale=400|text=[[Wikipedia]]}}
{{Image label small|x=0.25|y=0.75|scale=400|text=[[Wikipedia]]}}
{{Image label end}}
