This template places one or more marks on an image, with optional labels. The helper template {{ Location mark~ }} can be used one or more times to generate the marks with labels. For labels only, the template {{ }} can place each colored label, of any font size, onto the image.

Other templates are more capable of superimposing one image on another. This template centers a mark over a location on any image using coordinate values that are relative. The size of the composite image can changed without changing the relative positions of the markers. The composite image can be displayed as a simple image, a bordered image or a thumbnail image.

If the geographic coordinates of the locations are known and a location map template exists, then one of the templates in the {Location_map} family should be used instead. The section, below, lists alternative templates.

Parameters

Mark placement parameters

There are two ways to generate a marker on a map.

Place a mark on an image using the x and y parameters

The values for the x and y parameters are the pixel coordinates of the location mark when the image is scaled to a width of 1000 pixels.

x is the pixel offset for the mark from the left edge of an image 1000px wide.

y is the pixel offset for the mark from the top edge of an image 1000px wide.

There are at least two ways of obtaining these values:

1. Download the image from the image’s to your computer. Open the image in a , such as GIMP or XnView . Scale (resize) the image to a width of 1000px and then note the x, y coordinates when the points to the desired location. Use these values directly.
2. Download the image from the image’s to your computer. Open the image in any that displays the coordinates of the cursor position, such as from Microsoft. Note the x, y coordinates when the points to the location. Then:

1000 · x' / w = x and 1000 · y' / w = y

where x' and y' are the cursor coordinates, w is the width of the image displayed on your computer and x and y are the values to assign to the x and y parameters.

Place a mark on an image using the x% and y% parameters

x% specifies the percent of the distance across the image from the left edge.

y% specifies the percent of the distance down from the top edge.

The type parameter

default	type=border	type=thumb
Cape Wrath Rattray Head Ardnamurchan Point	Cape Wrath Rattray Head Ardnamurchan Point	Cape Wrath Rattray Head Ardnamurchan Point Three locations on the coast of Scotland

Examples

The first two examples could be duplicated using {{ Location map+ }} .

Using mostly default values

Cape Wrath

Rattray Head

Ardnamurchan Point

{{Location mark+
| width =
| image = Scotland relief location map.jpg
| caption = Weather stations in Scotland
| float =
| type =
| marks =
{{Location mark~
  | width =
  | label = '''Cape Wrath'''
  | position =
  | x = 452 | y = 480 }}
{{Location mark~
  | width =
  | label = '''Rattray Head'''
  | position =
  | x = 835 | y = 703 }}
{{Location mark~
  | width =
  | label = '''Ardnamurchan Point'''
  | position =
  | x = 307 | y = 865 }}
}}

Using background color for labels

Cologne

Düsseldorf

Dortmund

Essen

Duisburg

Largest cities in

{{Location mark+
| image = North Rhine-Westphalia location map 05.svg
| width = 300
| caption = Largest cities in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]
| type = thumb
| marks =
{{Location mark~
  | width = 300
  | label = Cologne
  | position = right
  | background = #a7cb9d
  | x = 302 | y = 702 }}
{{Location mark~
  | width = 300
  | label = Düsseldorf
  | position = left
  | background = #a7cb9d
  | x = 267 | y = 574 }}
{{Location mark~
  | width = 300
  | label = Dortmund
  | position = right
  | background = #a7cb9d
  | x = 456 | y = 457 }}
{{Location mark~
  | width = 300
  | label = <br />Essen
  | position = right
  | background = #a7cb9d
  | x = 328 | y = 484 }}
{{Location mark~
  | width = 300
  | label = Duisburg
  | position = left
  | background = #a7cb9d
  | x = 261 | y = 496 }}
}}

Using an invisible mark

Rachel

Alice

Cute chicks

{{Location mark+
| image = Take five.jpg
| caption = Cute chicks
| type = thumb
| marks =
{{Location mark~
  | label = Rachel
  | position = top
  | background = #ae9074
  | mark = Blanksvg.svg
  | x = 433 | y = 295 }}
{{Location mark~
  | label = Alice
  | position = top
  | background = #ae9074
  | mark = Blanksvg.svg
  | x = 812 | y = 245 }}
}}
