Module:Location map/data/Africa/doc

Template:Location map Africa is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection map of Africa. 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 "Africa":

• {{Location map|Africa |...}}
• {{Location map many|Africa |...}}
• {{Location map+|Africa |...}}
• {{Location map~|Africa |...}}

Map definition

• name = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Africa|Template:Location map/data/Africa]]

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Africa|Template:Location map/data/Africa]]

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• image2 = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Africa|Template:Location map/data/Africa]]

  A second alternative map image, can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter only

• top = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

• x = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its longitude; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge

• y = Template:Location map/data/Africa

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its latitude; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Template:Location map/data/Africa) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The map defined as image2 (Template:Location map/data/Africa) can only be displayed by using the AlternativeMap parameter. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:

Template:Location map#Relief parameter Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter

Template:Location map+/relief Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Two locations in Africa

{{Location map many | Africa
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in Africa
| label1   = Cairo
| lat1_deg = 30.06
| lon1_deg = 31.23
