This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Zyxw (talk | contribs) at 10:54, 11 August 2011 (update documentation and add example using Template:Location map+). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Template:Location map Egypt is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Egypt. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Egypt":

Map definition

name
used in default map caption (Template:Location map/data/Egypt)
image
the default map image, without "Image:" or "File:" ([[:File:Template:Location map/data/Egypt|Template:Location map/data/Egypt]])
image1
an alternative map image, usually a relief map ([[:File:Template:Location map/data/Egypt|Template:Location map/data/Egypt]])
top
latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees (Template:Location map/data/Egypt)
bottom
latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees (Template:Location map/data/Egypt)
left
longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees (Template:Location map/data/Egypt)
right
longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees (Template:Location map/data/Egypt)

Alternative map

The map shown above as image1 (Template:Location map/data/Egypt) can be displayed by using the AlternativeMap or relief parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. Further instructions can be found at Template:Location map#Using Alternative Map and Template:Location map#Relief, or see the examples below.

Examples

Location map, using default map (image)

Abydos is located in Egypt
Abydos
Abydos
Abydos (Egypt)
{{Location map | Egypt
| width = 200 <!--omit "px"-->
| label = Abydos
| lat   = 26.18
| long  = 31.92
}}

Location map, using relief map (image1)

Berenice is located in Egypt
Berenice
Berenice
Berenice on Red Sea
{{Location map | Egypt
| relief    = yes
| float     = right <!--or left/center)-->
| width     = 200
| caption   = Berenice on Red Sea
| lat       = 23.92
| long      = 35.45
| label     = Berenice
| label_size= 70
| background= #44CCDD <!--aqua-->
| position  = left <!--or right/top/bottom -->
| mark      = Green_pog.svg <!--marker image-->
| marksize  = 10 <!--default: 8, 1=none -->
}}

Location map many, using default map

Location map/data/Egypt/doc is located in Egypt
Sallum
Sallum
Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel
Sallum north, Abu Simbel in south
{{Location map many | Egypt
| <!--map settings-->
| width       = 200
| float       = right
| caption     = Sallum north, Abu Simbel in south
| <!--1st label settings-->
| lat         = 31.61
| long        = 25.92
| label       = Sallum 
| label_size  = 70
| background  = #DDDD44
| position    = right
| mark        = Blue pog.svg
| marksize    = 10
| <!--2nd label settings-->
| lat2        = 22.34
| long2       = 31.37
| label2      = Abu Simbel
| label2_size = 70
| background2 = DarkOrange
| position2   = top
| mark2       = Blue pog.svg
| mark2size   = 10
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Location map/data/Egypt/doc is located in Egypt
Sallum
Sallum
Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel
Two locations in Egypt
{{Location map+ | Egypt
| AlternativeMap = Egypt relief location map.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Two locations in Egypt
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Egypt
  | lat   = 31.61
  | long  = 25.92
  | label = Sallum 
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Egypt
  | lat   = 22.34
  | long  = 31.37
  | label = Abu Simbel
  }}
}}

Other options

It is possible to place markers/labels outside a map, by specifying latitude outside 20.5-32.8 or longitude coordinates beyond 25.5-35.8:

  • Over longitude=35.8 will push a label off-map to the right;
  • Under longitude= 20.5 will push a label off-map to the left;
  • Over latitude= 32.8 will push a label off-map to the top.

For templates that restrict coordinates, expand the minutes field: lat_deg=32.0 but lat_min=120 yielding a combined 34 degrees (60 minutes = 1 degree).
