The map definition, [[Template:Location map Egypt]], is intended for overlaying markers/labels on similar maps of [[Egypt]], using coordinates of 20.8 to 32.8 for [[latitude]] and 25.3 to 35.8 for [[longitude]].

== Usage ==
 
Some of the related mapping templates are:
 
* [[Template:Location map]] - places a marker symbol/label on an image;
 
* [[Template:Location map many]] - places multiple marker symbols/labels on an image;
 
* [[Template:Location map skew]] - puts symbols/labels on an image with converging longitudes.
 
 
 
All mapping templates use similar parameters (see ''[[#Examples|Examples]]''):
 
<code>
 
:''Map settings''
 
:* Egypt          - the first parameter is always the map name
 
:* AlternativeMap - name of image (omit "Image:")
 
:* width=250      - for image width (omit "px")
 
:* float=right (left, center) - position of map formatted on page
 
:* caption=text  - caption text along bottom of image
 
:''Label settings''
 
:* lat=26.25      - for latitude 20.8-32.8 (higher towards top)
 
:* long=31.92    - for longitude 25.3-35.8 (higher towards right)
 
:* label=xxx      - movable label (can be padded "&amp;nbsp;XX&amp;nbsp;YY&amp;nbsp;")
 
:* label_size    - percent from 0-200 (default: 95)
 
:* position=right - (or left, top, bottom) position of label at marker
 
:* mark          - name of image for marker symbol (omit "Image:")
 
:* marksize      - size (in pixels) of marker-symbol (default: 8, 1=none)
 
:* background    - color of label (such as: darkorange or #4499DD)
 
::Some common label background colors are:
 
::* <small>#</small>CCCC55 for <font color=#CCCC55>'''dim yellow'''</font>,
 
::* <small>#</small>44EE44 for <font color=#44EE44>'''lime green'''</font>, <small>#</small>BBBBBB for <font color=#BBBBBB>'''gray'''</font>,
 
::* <small>#</small>44CCDD for <font color=#44CCDD>'''light aqua'''</font>, <small>#</small>DDDDDD for <font color=#DDDDDD>'''light gray'''</font> (almost white),
 
::* PaleGreen for <font color=PaleGreen>'''pale green'''</font>, <font color=PaleTurquoise>'''PaleTurquoise'''</font>, <font color=DarkOrange>'''DarkOrange'''</font>, etc.
 
::* By default, the label is ''transparent'' overwriting the image.
 
</code>
 
 
 
For small lettering use label_size=80, for tiny words use 55.  Note that the words in the label will wrap unless using "nbsp": <small>DO&amp;nbsp;NOT&amp;nbsp;WRAP</small>.
 
 
 
When specifying image "width=270" be sure to ''OMIT'' "px" (which causes the image to span the width of the screen) because "px" cannot (yet) be detected by the (new) MediaWiki language which processes those mapping templates.
 
 
 
See each specific mapping template for other parameters to pass.
 
 
 
== How to use an alternative map ==
 
This template normally displays the map shown above as '''image''':
 
*<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image}}</tt>.
 
The ''AlternativeMap'' or ''relief'' parameters in {{tl|Location map}} can be used to display the map shown above as '''image1''':
 
*<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}</tt>.
 
Further instructions and examples can be found at [[Template:Location map#Using Alternative Map]] and [[Template:Location map#Relief]].

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:
+
[[Category:Maps of Egypt]]
:* Over longitude=35.8 will push a label off-map to the right;
+
[[Category:Egypt location map templates| ]]
:* 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).
 
 
 
==See also==
 
* [[Template:Superimpose]] - to label an image without a border box
 
* [[Template:Location map USA]] - for mapping the "lower 48" states
 
* [[Template:Location map Egypt relief]]

Module:Location map/data/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 = Egypt
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = 21.3
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 24.2
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 37.3
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 13.1 degrees.

  • At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.0655 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0131 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 10.8 degrees.

  • At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.054 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0108 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Alexandria (Egypt)
{{Location map | Egypt
| width   = 220 <!--omit "px"-->
| lat_deg = 31.2
| lon_deg = 29.9
| label   = Alexandria
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan
{{Location map many | Egypt
| relief      = yes
| width       = 220
| caption     = Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan
| lat1_deg    = 31.2
| lon1_deg    = 29.92
| label1      = Alexandria 
| position1   = left
| lat2_deg    = 30.05
| lon2_deg    = 31.22
| label2      = Cairo
| position2   = bottom
| lat3_deg    = 24.06
| lon3_deg    = 32.91
| label3      = Aswan
| position3   = top
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | Egypt
| AlternativeMap = Egypt relief location map.jpg
| width   = 220
| caption = Two locations in Egypt
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Egypt
  | lat_deg = 31.61
  | lon_deg = 25.92
  | label   = Sallum 
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Egypt
  | lat_deg = 22.34
  | lon_deg = 31.37
  | label   = Abu Simbel
  }}
}}
