Fyrimynd:Location map Japan/doc

Map of Japan

Template:Location map Japan is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Japan. 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 "Japan":

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

Map definition

• name = Japan

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Japan location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.svg

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

• image1 = Japan natural location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg

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

• image2 = Japan bluemarble location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg

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

• x = 100*(({{{2}}}>30.90)*({{{3}}}-128.24)/(149.27-128.24)+({{{2}}}<=30.90)*({{{3}}}-110.43)/(131.44-110.43))

  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 = 100*(({{{2}}}>30.90)*({{{2}}}-45.86)/(30.02-45.86)+({{{2}}}<=30.90)*({{{2}}}-39.54)/(23.71-39.54))

  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

Map boundaries

Boundaries for main islands north of 30.90°N:

• top = 45.86
• bottom = 30.02
• left = 128.24
• right = 149.27

Boundaries for Ryukyu Islands south of 30.90°N:

• top = 39.54
• bottom = 23.71
• left = 110.43
• right = 131.44

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Japan natural location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The map defined as image2 (Japan bluemarble location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg) 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:
