Module:Location map/data/China is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of China. 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 "China":

• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx

Map definition

• name = China

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = China edcp location map.svg

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

• image1 = China edcp relief location map.jpg

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• x = 50 + 116.80932603407057 * ((1.9996655301850468-($1* pi / 180)) * sin(0.5867115434267053 * ($2 - 104) * pi / 180))

  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 = 50 + 1.256383 * 116.80932603407057 * 0.02641006622571962 - 1.256383 * 116.80932603407057 * (1.3713469994670882 - (1.9996655301850468 -($1 * pi / 180)) * cos(0.5867115434267053 * ($2 - 104) * pi / 180))

  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 {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

{{Location map | China
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 37
| lon_deg = 100
| label   = Qinghai Lake
}}

Template:Clear

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many | China
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = People's Republic of China
| lat1_deg = 39.91
| lon1_deg = 116.39
| label1   = Beijing
| lat2_deg = 31.2
| lon2_deg = 121.5
| label2   = Shanghai
}}

Template:Clear

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | China
| AlternativeMap = China edcp relief location map.jpg
| width   = 250
| caption = People's Republic of China
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | China
  | lat_deg = 39.91
  | lon_deg = 116.39
  | label   = Beijing
  }}
  {{Location map~ | China
  | lat_deg = 31.2
  | lon_deg = 121.5
  | label   = Shanghai
  }}
