Module:Location map/data/USA Alabama/doc

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.

Map for Alabama

Map parameters
top	Template:Location map Alabama	latitude at top of map
bottom	Template:Location map Alabama	latitude at bottom of map
left	Template:Location map Alabama	longitude at map left edge
right	Template:Location map Alabama	longitude at map right edge
skew	Template:Location map Alabama	skew to narrow longitudes
lat_skew	Template:Location map Alabama	skew to arc latitudes at edges

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 <!-- 0-900%-->

| caption = Show "Mobile" on map

| lat_deg= 30 | lat_min=40.8

| lon_deg= -88 | lon_min= -6.2

| background = <!--orange-->#FFCC66

| float = right

| width = 160 <!--DON'T add "px"-->

| AlternativeMap = <!-- none (default)-->

}}

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

}}
