Module:Location map/data/USA/doc

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "USA":

• {{Location map|USA |...}}
• {{Location map many|USA |...}}
• {{Location map+|USA |...}}
• {{Location map~|USA |...}}

• name = the United States

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Usa edcp location map.svg

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

• image1 = Usa edcp relief location map.png

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

• x = 50.0 + 124.03149777329222 * ((1.9694462586094064-($1 * pi / 180)) * sin(0.6010514667026994 * ($2 + 96) * 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 = 50.0 + 1.6155950752393982 * 124.03149777329222 * ( 0.02613325650382181 - (1.3236744353715044 - (1.9694462586094064 - ($1 * pi / 180)) * cos(0.6010514667026994 * ($2 + 96) * 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

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 relieforAlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:
