Template:Postcode area imagemap/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Postcode area imagemap. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template displays an Help:Imagemap of the postcode districts and post towns in the London postal district or one of the 121 United Kingdom postcode areas (AB to ZE, including BT but excluding the non-UK Crown dependencies of GY, |IM and JE).

The maps used are File:LONDON post town map.svg and File:AB postcode area map.svg to File:ZE postcode area map.svg and this template contains imagemap polygons which correspond to the coordinates of the surrounding postcode areas in each map. This causes a tooltip and link for the relevant postcode area article to appear when users hover the mouse over an adjacent area on the map.

Basic usage:

{{Postcode area imagemap | map=... }}

Extended usage:

{{Postcode area imagemap | map=... | size=... | ___location=... }}
