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

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

Map definition

• name = Brazil

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Brazil location map.svg

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

• image1 = Relief Map of Brazil.jpg

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

• top = 6

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = -34

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -74.5

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -32

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

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 relieforAlternativeMap 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

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 42.5 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.2125 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0425 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 40 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.2 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.04 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Brasília

Brasília (Brazil)

{{Location map | Brazil
| width   = 200
| label   = Brasília
| lat_deg = -15.8
| lon_deg = -47.9
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Brasília

{{Location map many | Brazil
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Three locations in Brazil
| label1   = Brasília
| lat1_deg = -15.8
| lon1_deg = -47.9
| label2   = São Paulo 
| lat2_deg = -23.55
| lon2_deg = -46.63
| lat3_deg = 2.82
| lon3_deg = -60.67
| label3   = Boa Vista
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Brasília

{{Location map+ | Brazil
| AlternativeMap = Relief Map of Brazil.svg
| width   = 200
| caption = Three locations in Brazil
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Brazil
  | lat_deg = -15.8
  | lon_deg = -47.9
  | label   = Brasília
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Brazil
  | lat_deg = -23.55
  | lon_deg = -46.63
  | label   = São Paulo 
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Brazil
  | lat_deg = 2.82
  | lon_deg = -60.67
  | label   = Boa Vista
  }}
}}
