Template:Wy/syl/Mapframe

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Function

This template acts as a frame for an external map. Javascript is used to replace "mapdiv" with an iframe. See Wikivoyage:How to use dynamic maps and Wikivoyage:Dynamic maps Expedition for more information.

Usage

{{Wy/syl/Mapframe|1|2|zoom=|height=|width=|layer=|staticmap=|align=|name=}}

Parameters

|1 latitude of the map's centre, valid range: -90.0 to 90.0

|2 longitude of the map's centre, valid range: -180.0 to 180.0

|zoom= zoom level, default=14, valid range: 0 to 18 or auto (0=Earth, 18=city block, auto=showing all markers)

|height= height of map frame in pixels, default is 420 and it should be at least 370 to provide enough space for the layers menu to expand

|width= width of map frame in pixels, default is 420

|staticmap= static map image, a normal png or svg file

|align= alignment of map frame, default is right (other values are "left" and "center")

|name= name of the location as you want it to appear in the caption; the default display is the article title with parent page and disambiguation removed. For an example of this parameter's usage, see Amsterdam/Binnenstad.

|layer= see Wy/syl/Wikivoyage:How to use dynamic maps#Mapframe

If the coordinates are not given, they and the zoom will be deduced from the markers and the possible mapshapes etc. to be shown. This works well in some cases, but can give a strange result in others (such as if there is an airport far from a city to be shown).

Examples

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115}}

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|zoom=auto}} (lat/long is not required)

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115|zoom=14|height=400|width=400}}

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115|zoom=14|height=400|width=400 |layer=W|staticmap=map.png}}

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115|zoom=14|height=400|width=400 |layer=MLSCG|align=center|name=the Binnenstad}}

Associated template

• {{Wy/syl/Mapshape}} – used to create a mask, shape or line using data from the OpenStreetMap database; useful for city or region borders, or for showing routes.
• {{Wy/syl/Mapmask}} – used to create a mask using manually entered latitude/longitude pairs; useful for drawing city or region borders that aren't available from OpenStreetMap.
• {{Wy/syl/Maplayers}} – list of maplayer names, to facilitate adding a custom layer.

Examples

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115}}

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|zoom=auto}} (lat/long is not required)

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115|zoom=14|height=400|width=400}}

 {{Wy/syl/Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115|zoom=14|height=400|width=400 |layer=W|staticmap=map.png}}

 {{Mapframe|51.47766|0.00115|zoom=14|height=400|width=400 |layer=MLSCG|align=center|name=the Binnenstad}}
