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_USA_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 | ...}}.

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.

| 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.
