Usage
As a bare table (chart): {{IPA vowel chart}}.
For navigation, this chart is transcluded into navbox: {{IPA navigation}}
Positioning
By default the template is floating to the right side of the page (float:right;). Text will run left of the template, and there is no {{clear}} so it might overlap a next section.
Optionally, the float can be left by using
{{IPA vowel chart|float=left}}.
To force an align-placement, use:
<div align=center>{{IPA vowel chart|float=none}}</div>.
Technical notes
Subtemplate vowelpair
The templates uses subtemplate Template:IPA vowel chart/vowelpair to produce a pair of vowels. Usage:
{{IPA vowel chart/vowelpair|left-symbol|right-symbol|symbol-over-midbullet|top|left}}. Top and left are numeric, the distances in px counting from the top, left corner (do no type the "px"). This will be the position of the bullet (central); symbols will shove against it from left & right. The trapezoid is 300px width and 210px height.
Color scheme
The table uses a color scheme that is used on more phonetic IPA boxes. Help:Using colors describes how the English Wikipedia uses a set of four related colors, based on a single color (hue) e.g. green, are used on the wiki Main Page: headers, 2nd rank headers, borders and background. For another basic color, say blue, a corresponding set can be generated.
For this template, the colors are:
| Hue | Saturation 4% / Brightness 100% main background |
Saturation 10% / Brightness 100% 2nd header, accent colour |
Saturation 15% / Brightness 95% main border header background |
Saturation 15% / Brightness 75% header border only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hue: 60 | #FFFFF5 | #FFFFE6 | #F2F2CE | #BFBFA3 |
