Code to convert information about physical size of objects into parameters for geohack or mapframes.
The following parameters describe the physical object size:
- length_km
- length_mi
- width_km
- width_mi
- area_km2
- area_mi2
- area_ha
- area_acre
When producing scale or zoom, module can use size of object on screen specified via |viewport_cm= or {{{viewport_px}}}. Defaults to 10cm, to match geohack.
In addition, the module can accept and convert between geohack parameters:
- dim
- scale
- type (e.g., "mountain" or "city")
- population (for type="city" only)
