Fyrimynd:Infobox map
|
This template will generate an error message and garbage if it is transcluded with {{{map}}} undefined. This reduces expansion depth which is critical in many infoboxes that transclude this template. |
|
The parameters {{{label_x}}} and {{{label_y}}} are deprecated. They will remain functional for a time. |
This helper template provides a way to display a map in an Infobox. Optionally a location marker can be included.
Usage
[rætta wikitekst]Parameter descriptions
[rætta wikitekst]Field name | Description |
---|---|
map |
The name of the map to be displayed. This is the only required parameter. |
map_width |
The width of the map image to be displayed. For example, map_width=220 and not map_width=220px .
|
default_width |
When this template is used in another template, e.g. an infobox, the default width of the map image preferred by the infobox should be specified here. For example, map_width=220 . When used with location maps, this value may be modified by a certain value if specified in the location map template. The default value is 220px.
|
relief |
Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This only works when the geographical coordinates method is used and then only for a few maps. See Map display methods. |
map_alt |
Alt text for the map. A visually impaired reader who uses a screen reader will have access to this text. See WP:ALT. |
map_caption |
The caption that appears below the map if one is required. |
mark |
The image file that will be used to mark the location on the map. The default is Red pog.svg. See below. |
mark_width |
The width of the marker image to be displayed. For example, mark_width=8 and not mark_width=8px . The default width is 8px.
|
label |
A text message that will be displayed next to the marker. |
label_position |
The position of a label with respect to the marker. Valid values are left , right , top , bottom and none .
|
lat long |
Specifies the latitude and longitude of the location when the geographical coordinates method is used. This value may be specified as a signed decimal degree. |
lat_deg lat_min lat_sec lat_dir
|
Specifies the latitude and longitude of the location when the geographical coordinates method is used. This value may be specified in dms+hemisphere format. |
x y |
Specifies the position of the location marker. The coordinates of the marker in pixels based on a map width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See below. |
x% y% |
Specifies the position of the location marker. x% specifies the percentage of the distance across the image from the left edge and y% specifies the percentage of the distance down from the top edge. See below.

Map display methods
[rætta wikitekst]There are three methods which can display a mark to on a map. These examples use {{Infobox park}} which uses this template as a back end.
Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates
[rætta wikitekst]A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker the geographic coordinates must be specified using the parameters lat_d
, long_d
, etc. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:
- List of templates - Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
- Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.
- Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info - a search that might help.
- Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map - another search that might help.
All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for the Canada is Location map Canada. In this case specify map=Canada
.
Four Corners, Canada | |
---|---|
Example using geographic coordinates | |
Koordinatir | 60°00′00″N 102°00′00″W / 60.00000°N 102.00000°W |
{{Infobox park | name = Four Corners, Canada | map = Canada | map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates | lat_d = 60 | lat_m = 00 | lat_s = 00 | lat_NS = N | long_d = 102 | long_m = 00 | long_s = 00 | long_EW = W }}
Display a marker on any map image using the x
and y
parameters
[rætta wikitekst]The values for the x
and y
parameters are the pixel coordinates of the location mark when the image is scaled to a width of 1000 pixels.
x
is the pixel offset for the mark from the left edge of an image 1000px wide.y
is the pixel offset for the mark from the top edge of an image 1000px wide.
There are at least two ways of obtaining these values:
- Download the image from the image's file page to your computer. Open the image in a graphics editor, such as GIMP or XnView. Scale (resize) the image to a width of 1000px and then note the x, y coordinates when the cursor points to the desired location. Use these values directly.
- Download the image from the image's file page to your computer. Open the image in any image viewer that displays the coordinates of the cursor position, such as Paint from Microsoft. Note the x, y coordinates when the cursor points to the location. Then:
- 1000 · x'/w = x and 1000 · y'/w = y
- where x' and y' are the cursor coordinates, w is the width of the image displayed on your computer and x and y are the values to assign to the
x
andy
parameters.
- where x' and y' are the cursor coordinates, w is the width of the image displayed on your computer and x and y are the values to assign to the
Four Corners, Canada | |
---|---|
Example using the x and y parameters |
{{Infobox park | name = Four Corners, Canada | map = Canada location map.svg | map_caption = Example using the x and y parameters | x = 369 | y = 487 }}
Display a marker on any map image using the x%
and y%
parameters
[rætta wikitekst]- x% specifies the percent of the distance across the image from the left edge.
- y% specifies the percent of the distance down from the top edge.
In the following example the marker is 36.9% of the way across and 57.4% of the way down.
Four Corners, Canada | |
---|---|
Example using the x% and y% parameters |
{{Infobox park | name = Four Corners, Canada | map = Relief map of Canada.png | map_caption = Example using the x% and y% parameters | x% = 36.9 | y% = 57.4 }}
Display any image
[rætta wikitekst]Another option allows the display of any image without a location mark.
Average regional brazil nut output (kg/ha) | |
---|---|
{{Infobox | above = | image2 = {{Infobox map | map = Braziloutput.png | map_alt = A world map showing regions that produce Brazil nuts. | map_caption = | map_width = 200 }} }}
Marks
[rætta wikitekst]A mark can be any image file. The default mark is Red pog.svg and it works well because it is easy to pick up visually on most maps. Some examples are below. Click on an image to see the file description page.
See Location markers for other examples. Currently, using mark_width=n
for n > 8 is not advised when a label is specified.
Geographical coordinates
[rætta wikitekst]To display coordinates in the Infobox two methods can be used. The template {{Infobox coord}} can be used to display coordinates entered using the method discussed above. If the X,Y method is used to display a marker then the template {{coord}} can be used. For examples of coordinate entry see coordinate examples.
