Template:Map Point Plus/Doc

Syntax


Usage
Displays multiple locations (no longer any upper limit) on a large map of Dereth given specific coordinates. You can use either upper or lower case letters (e, w, n, s or E, W, N, S). If the marker is blank, the "Large" marker will be used, if a caption is specified it will create a pop up label when the mouse hovers over the location and if the location is clicked the user will be sent to a page with the same name as the caption. Note that because the coordinates need to be transformed into a point on the map if a coordinate or direction parameter is missing or malformed the page will not render correctly.

For a smaller map that displays one to four points use Template:Map Point.

You can create new markers if desired, create a 9x9 pixel png image. If the icon doesn't cover the entire area, make the surrounding pixels transparent (with GIMP, Layer>>Transparency>>Color to Alpha, set white to alpha and save). And if the nontransparent bits are smaller than 9x9, center the image. Name the file "Map Point .png" and upload it and simply refer to it as  (for example, Map Point Large.png is referenced as Large).

The default map is Image:Point Map 512.jpg however you can optionally specify another 512x512px image to use as the map adding the optional parameter Base Map = Name.jpg.
