Template:Wy/si/mapmask/උපදෙස්

Function

This template overlays a dark polygonal mask on a dynamic map so that the subject area is more clearly delineated. Mask display can be turned on or off by toggling the "GPX tracks / Map mask" layer control.

Usage

See Wikivoyage:How to use dynamic maps#Custom districts and tracks for instructions on creating GPX tracks for use with this template.

The points of the mask polygon are marked with {{Mapmask|lat,long|lat,long| ... |lat,long}}

• Required parameters:

|lat,long pairs of geographical co-ordinates for each corner of the masking polygon.

• Example:

{{Mapmask|43.28915,-78.19371|43.28928,-78.18969|43.28828,-78.18745|43.28543,-78.18724|43.28555,-78.19381}}

• A working example:
