This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 |
This Lua module is used on approximately 374,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module’s /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Code to convert information about physical size of objects into parameters for geohack or mapframes.
The following parameters describe the physical object size:
- length_km
- length_mi
- width_km
- width_mi
- area_km2
- area_mi2
- area_ha
- area_acre
When producing scale or zoom, module can use size of object on screen specified via |viewport_cm= or |viewport_px=. Defaults to 10cm, to match geohack.
In addition, the module can accept and convert between geohack parameters:
- dim
- scale
- type (e.g., “mountain” or “city”)
- population (for type=”city” only)
{{#invoke:Infobox dim|dim}}
Generates dim string (e.g, “24km”) suitable for geohack link
{{#invoke:Infobox dim|scale}}
Generates scale (e.g, 100000) suitable for geohack link
{{#invoke:Infobox dim|zoom}}
Generates Open Street Map zoom level (e.g, 12) suitable for use in mapframes
