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

Map definition

  • name = America
    Name used in the default map caption
  • x = 50.67894037 + 100 * 0.4330374692 * cos($1*pi/180) * sin(($2+90)*pi/180) * ( (( 1 + cos(($1-20)*pi/180) + cos($1*pi/180) * cos(20*pi/180) * (cos(($2+90)*pi/180)- 1) )*0.5)^ -0.5 )
    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 = 50.8714553 - 100 * 0.383328363 * ( sin(($1-20)*pi/180) - cos($1*pi/180) * sin(20*pi/180) * (cos(($2+90)*pi/180)- 1) ) * ( (( 1 + cos(($1-20)*pi/180) + cos($1*pi/180) * cos(20*pi/180) * (cos(($2+90)*pi/180)- 1) )*0.5)^ -0.5 )
    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
