Module:Location map/data/Japan/doc

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 = Template:Location map/data/Japan

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Japan|Template:Location map/data/Japan]]

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

• image1 = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Japan|Template:Location map/data/Japan]]

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief parameter

• image2 = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Japan|Template:Location map/data/Japan]]

  An alternative map image, can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter

• x = Template:Location map/data/Japan

  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 = Template:Location map/data/Japan

  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 (Template:Location map/data/Japan) can be displayed by using the AlternativeMap or relief parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The map defined as image2 (Template:Location map/data/Japan) can only be displayed by using the AlternativeMap parameter. Further instructions can be found at Template:Location map#Using Alternative Map and Template:Location map#Relief, or see the examples below.
