[edit] Works
This list of maps needed for the project. Please use SVG format to create the map. Wikimedia has the capability to convert SVG to PNG for display purposes.
[edit] Blank maps
Ideally blank maps should have borders for subdivisions in the state (ie: district or division borders)

[edit] Locator Images
To have standardization of locator images and easier to use only one image for every geographical articles, please use the following guidelines.
[edit] City locator
For major towns or cities it is better to use the whole Malaysia map image as locator. To get locator image, you don't need to create each image for each city, but use {{Location map}} template. For Malaysia see: Template:Location map Malaysia.
The format is:
{{Location map|Malaysia
|label = label
|position = left or right - position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right
|background = color - background color for the label, defaults to none
|lat = latitude in degrees
|long = longitude in degrees
|mark = image file name - a red dot by default
|caption = caption - caption below the map
|float = left or right or none
|width = width of the map
}}
Alternatively, if you want to add a map in the infobox, simply add the parameters below:
{{Infobox Settlement
| ...
| ...
|pushpin_map = Malaysia
|pushpin_label_position = right/left
| ...
}}
Examples:
- Kuching, lat=1.5544, long=110.3546, without caption.
{{Location map|Malaysia|
lat=1.5544|long=110.3546|width=400|label=Kuching|float=left}}
.png/400px-Malaysia_states_blank_(color_scheme).png)
- Kuala Lumpur, lat=3.1357, long=101.688, with caption (notice that frame is used if caption is defined).
{{Location map|Malaysia|
lat=3.1357|long=101.688|width=400|label=Kuala Lumpur|float=left|
caption=Kuala Lumpur, the largest city in Malaysia.}}
[edit] Advanced usage
Images can be composed into layers, including text. These examples take advantage of {{Location map start}}, {{Location map marker}} and {{Location map end}}.
- Multiple cities on a map with wikilinks.
{{Location map start|Malaysia|float=left|width=400}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=5.9714|long=116.0952|label=[[Kota Kinabalu]]|position=right}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=5.4167|long=100.3167|label=[[Georgetown, Penang|Georgetown]]|position=roght}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=3.1357|long=101.688|label=[[Kuala Lumpur]]|position=right}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=4.9|long=101.1167|label=[[Ipoh]]|position=left}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=1.483|long=103.733|label=[[Johor Bahru]]|position=right}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=1.5544|long=110.3546|label=[[Kuching]]|position=left}}
{{Location map end|Malaysia|caption=The main cities of Malaysia}}
- Using different symbols for non-city locator:
{{Location map start|Malaysia|float=left|width=600}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=2.746|long=101.71|label=[[Kuala Lumpur International Airport|KLIA]]|position=right|mark=Map symbol airport 02.png|mark size=20x20px}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=6.33|long=99.73|label=[[Langkawi International Airport]]|position=right|mark=Map symbol airport 02.png|mark size=20x20px}}
{{Location map marker|Malaysia|lat=4.323|long=113.99|label=[[Miri Airport]]|position=left|mark=Map symbol airport 02.png|mark size=20x20px}}
{{Location map end|Malaysia|caption=Location of some airports in Malaysia.}}
.png/600px-Malaysia_states_blank_(color_scheme).png){kind=spacer}
Caveats
Location templates sometimes give inaccurate location of markers if the marker size is large and label may not properly aligned. The marker reference is at the top-left, not at the center. More advanced low-level image composition is given in m:Help:Composite images.
[edit] Tools and color standardization
From Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps. If your are using Microsoft Paint, on the navigation bar click on "colors" -> "edit colors" -> "define custom colors", then insert numbers under "RGB" below into respective "Red", "Green, and "Blue".
| Color | Hex | RGB | Sample | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | #000000 | 0, 0, 0 | Primary label color | |
| Brown | #A08070 | 160, 128, 112 | Political borders. Country, state, and province borders should be brown. | |
| Light brown | #D0C0A0 | 208, 192, 160 | Secondary political borders. | |
| Light yellow | #FFFFD0 | 255, 255, 208 | Primary territory of interest, or one of four choices for four-color maps. | |
| Pink | #FFD0D0 | 255, 208, 208 | Another color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Orange | #F8A20C | 248, 162, 12 | A third color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Green | #3CE67B | 60, 230, 123 | A fourth color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Light blue | #CEFEF2 | 206, 254, 242 | An alternate color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Orange | #F7D3AA | 247, 211, 170 | Alternative color for the above Tan (surrounding territories). | |
| Medium blue | #9EC7F3 | 158, 199, 243 | Bodies of water. Oceans or lakes. | |
| Blue | #1821DE | 24, 33, 222 | Water borders, if necessary. For lake or ocean borders that need a color contrasting with surrounding land, or for rivers. | |
| Red | #B00000 | 176, 0, 0 | Points of interest. Cities, especially. | |
| Red-orange | #F07568 | 240, 117, 104 | Alternative color for the above Red (points of interest). | |
| Medium red | #E0584E | 224, 88, 78 | Border color for areas highlighted in Red-orange | |
