Module:Location map/data/USA Alabama/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Location map/data/USA Alabama.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

The locator map definition, Template:Location_map_Alabama, is intended for overlaying markers and labels on similar maps of Alabama.

Some of the related mapping procedures are:

Template:Location_map - puts 1 symbol/label on the map image;
Template:Location_map_many - puts multiple symbols/labels on the map image.

This template uses the mapping procedure "Template:Location_map" which must be invoked with parameter "Alabama" to process the options before it uses the template. Specify each of the individual parameters by using vertical bars: {{Location map | Alabama | ...}}.

When a map is not equirectangular, the coordinates will need to be adjusted to match northern-area mapping, or use skewed coordinates with "Template:Location map skew". For map width, omit "px" (width=160) or else map might expand and throw marker across page: the "px" cannot be detected in advance.

See: {{Location map}} for description of parameters, or Examples below.

Coordinates
Top	35.12
Bottom	30.12
Left	-88.64
Right	-84.85
skew	1.00

Examples

Huntsville

class=notpageimage|

Show "Huntsville" on map

Example labeling "Huntsville":

{{Location map
| Alabama
| label=Huntsville | position=top
| label_size = 90 <!--percent 0-900%-->
| caption = Show "Huntsville" on map
| lat_deg=  34  | lat_min=42.8
| lon_deg= -86 | lon_min= -35.2
| background = #FFFF99
| float = right
| width = 160 <!--DON'T add "px"-->

}}

Note that both lon_deg and lon_min are negative numbers, for the Western Hemisphere.

Mobile

class=notpageimage|

Show "Mobile" on map

Example for orange "Mobile" at bottom:

{{Location map

| Alabama

| label=Mobile | position=top

| label_size = 90

| caption = Show "Mobile" on map

| lat_deg= 30 | lat_min=40.8

| lon_deg= -88 | lon_min= -6.2

| background = #FFCC66

| float = right

| width = 160

| AlternativeMap =

}}

left edge

class=notpageimage|

Show "left edge" on map

Example for green "left edge" at side:

{{Location map
| Alabama
| label=left edge  | position=right
| label_size = 90  <--percent 0-900%
| caption = Show "left edge" on map
| lat  = 31.10
| long = -88.64
| background = <!--green-->#33DD44
| float = right
| width = 160

}}

right edge

class=notpageimage|

Show map "right edge"

Example for green "right edge" at side:

{{Location map
| Alabama
| label=right edge | position=left
| label_size=90  <--percent 0-900%
| caption = Show map "right edge"
| lat  = 31.10
| long = -84.85
| background = <!--green-->#33DD44
| float = right
| width = 160
