Snið:Location map

[breyta] Leiðbeiningar
Creates a location map as a composite image of an existing map in equirectangular projection with a marker and an optional label superimposed onto it. Note:
- Using "caption=xxx" frames the map (empty "caption=" leaves map unframed).
- The marker/label is not checked for valid latitude/longitude & could land anywhere on the article page, even beyond the bottom.
- To suppress the marker, set marksize=1 pixel wide.
- For map "width=250" omit "px" or map will stretch across page.
- To place multiple markers/labels, refer below to: See also.
- To map along converging longitudes, refer to: Template:Location_map_skew.
Usage[breyta frumkóða]
{{Location map |''location'' |label = ''label text'' |label_size = map font size, per cent |alt = [[WP:ALT|Alt text]] for image (defaults to generic description) |position = left ''or'' right ''or'' top ''or'' bottom ''or'' none – position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to ''right'' |background = ''color'', background color for the label, defaults to none |lon_dir=W longitude: W=west, E=east (default) |lat_dir=S latitude: S=south, N=north (default) |lat_deg = ''latitude'' degrees |lat_min = ''latitude'' minutes |lat_sec = ''latitude'' seconds |lon_deg = ''longitude'' degrees |lon_min = ''longitude'' minutes |lon_sec = ''longitude'' seconds |lat = ''latitude'' (decimal format; enter negative numbers for southern latitude) |long = ''longitude'' (decimal format; enter negative numbers for western longitude) |mark = ''marker image file name'', a red dot by default |marksize = ''marker size'', default=8 |border = ''border color'' or ''none'' |caption = ''map caption''; for no caption enter "caption="; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)" |float = left ''or'' right ''or'' center ''or'' none |width = ''map width'' (omit "px" or will stretch across page) |AlternativeMap = Alternative map file name (changes background map, border coordinates are determined based on the map name); this is only recommended for use in templates }}
Parameter location refers to {Template:Location map location} containing the name and coordinates of a map.

Creating new maps[breyta frumkóða]
- Find an appropriate blank map in equirectangular projection.
- Create a template named Template:Location map location (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values).
