Module:Location map/data/Africa is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection map of Africa. 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 "Africa":

Map definition

  • name = Africa
    Name used in the default map caption
  • image = Africa location map.svg
    The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
  • image1 = Africa relief location map.jpg
    An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
  • image2 = Africa_land_cover_location_map.jpg
    A second alternative map image, can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter only
  • x = 48.852459016393 + 71.1 * cos($1 * pi / 180) * sin(($2 - 15) * pi / 180) * (((1 + cos($1 * pi / 180) * cos(($2 - 15) * pi / 180)) * 0.5) ^ - 0.5 )
    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 = 51.180555555556 - 75.3 * sin($1 * pi / 180) * (((1 + cos($1 * pi / 180) * cos(($2 - 15) * pi / 180)) * 0.5) ^ -0.5)
    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

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Africa relief location map.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 (Africa_land_cover_location_map.jpg) can only be displayed by using the AlternativeMap parameter. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

 
 
Cairo
Cairo (Africa)
{{Location map | Africa
| width   = 200
| label   = Cairo
| lat_deg = 30.06
| lon_deg = 31.23
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

 
 
Cairo
 
Lagos
Two locations in Africa
{{Location map many | Africa
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in Africa
| label1   = Cairo
| lat1_deg = 30.06
| lon1_deg = 31.23
| label2   = Lagos
| lat2_deg = 6.45
| lon2_deg = 3.40
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

 
 
Cairo
 
Lagos
Two locations in Africa
{{Location map+ | Africa
| AlternativeMap = Africa relief location map.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Two locations in Africa
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Africa
  | label   = Cairo
  | lat_deg = 30.06
  | lon_deg = 31.23
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Africa
  | label   = Lagos
  | lat_deg = 6.45
  | lon_deg = 3.40
  }}
}}
