'''Template:Location map China''' is a ___location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an [[equidistant conic projection]] map of [[People's Republic of China|China]]. 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 "China":

See {{tl|Location map}} for details concerning usage.

* {{tlx|Location map | China&nbsp;| ...}}

* {{tlx|Location map many | China&nbsp;| ...}}

* {{tlx|Location map+ | China&nbsp;| ...}}

* {{tlx|Location map~ | China&nbsp;| ...}}

== Map definition ==

; name

*: used in default map caption (<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|imagename}}</tt>.)

; image

: the default map image, without "Image:" or "File:" (<tt>[[:File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image}}|{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image}}]]</tt>)

; image1

: an alternative map image, usually a relief map (<tt>[[:File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}|{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}]]</tt>)

; x

: 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

: 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

== How to use an alternativeAlternative map ==

The map shown above as '''image1''' (<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}</tt>) can be displayed by using the ''AlternativeMap'' or ''relief'' parameters in {{tl|Location map}}, {{tl|Location map many}} and {{tl|Location map+}}. Further instructions can be found at [[Template:Location map#Using Alternative Map]] and [[Template:Location map#Relief]], or see the examples below.

This template normally displays the map shown above as '''image''':

*<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image}}</tt>.

The ''AlternativeMap'' or ''relief'' parameters in {{tl|Location map}} can be used to display the map shown above as '''image1''':

*<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}</tt>.

Further instructions and examples can be found at [[Template:Location map#Using Alternative Map]] and [[Template:Location map#Relief]].
