Wiki143:WikiProject Indonesia/Cartography
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Indonesia/NavigationBar}}
The cartography department of the Indonesia WikiProject aims to assemble a collection of high-quality maps for use in Indonesia articles; both through obtaining existing public domain or free-license maps, and by creating new ones as needed.

Locator Images
To have standardization of locator images and easier to use only one image for every geographical articles, please use the following guidelines.
City locator
Provincial capitals (or big cities) are better to use the whole Indonesia map image as locator. To get locator image, you don't need to create each image for each city, but use Template:Tl template.
The format is:
{{Location map|Indonesia
|label = label
|position = left or right - position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right
|background = color - background color for the label, defaults to none
|lat = latitude in degrees
|long = longitude in degrees
|mark = image file name - a red dot by default
|caption = caption - caption below the map
|float = left or right or none
|width = width of the map
}}
Examples:
- Jakarta, lat=-6.1333, long=106.75, without caption.
{{Location map|Indonesia|
lat=-6.1333|long=106.75|width=400|label=Jakarta|float=left}}
Script error: No such module "Location map".
- Sabang, lat=5.8942, long=95.3192, with caption (notice that frame is used if caption is defined).
{{Location map|Indonesia|
lat=5.8942|long=95.3192|width=400|label=Sabang|float=left|
caption=Sabang, the westernmost city of Indonesia.}}
Script error: No such module "Location map".
Available background images
- Blank Indonesia image without provincial borders. (Image:Indonesia blank map.svg)
{{Location map|Indonesia|...}}
- Blank Indonesia image with provincial borders. (Image:Indonesia provinces blank map.svg)
{{Location map|Indonesia (provinces)|...}}
Advanced usage
Images can be composed into layers, including text. These examples take advantage of Template:Tl, Template:Tl
- Two cities on a map (Sabang and Merauke) with wikilinks.
{{Location map+|Indonesia|float=left|width=400|caption=From Sabang to Merauke,
a famous motto for the unity of Indonesia|places=
{{Location map~|Indonesia|lat=5.8942|long=95.3192|label=[[Sabang, Indonesia|Sabang]]|position=right}}
{{Location map~|Indonesia|lat=-8.5|long=140.40|label=[[Merauke]]|position=left}}
}}
- Using different symbols for non-city locator:

Caveats
Location templates sometimes give inaccurate location of markers if the marker size is large and label may not properly aligned. The marker reference is at the top-left, not at the center. More advanced low-level image composition is given in m:Help:Composite images.
Tools and color standardization
From Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps:
| Color | Hex | RGB | Sample | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | #000000 | 0, 0, 0 | Primary label color | |
| Brown | #A08070 | 160, 128, 112 | Political borders. Country, state, and province borders should be brown. | |
| Light brown | #D0C0A0 | 208, 192, 160 | Secondary political borders. | |
| Light yellow | #FFFFD0 | 255, 255, 208 | Primary territory of interest, or one of four choices for four-color maps. | |
| Pink | #FFD0D0 | 255, 208, 208 | Another color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Orange | #F8A20C | 248, 162, 12 | A third color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Green | #3CE67B | 60, 230, 123 | A fourth color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Light blue | #CEFEF2 | 206, 254, 242 | An alternate color to be used for four-color maps. | |
| Orange | #F7D3AA | 247, 211, 170 | Alternative color for the above Tan (surrounding territories). | |
| Medium blue | #9EC7F3 | 158, 199, 243 | Bodies of water. Oceans or lakes. | |
| Blue | #1821DE | 24, 33, 222 | Water borders, if necessary. For lake or ocean borders that need a color contrasting with surrounding land, or for rivers. | |
| Red | #B00000 | 176, 0, 0 | Points of interest. Cities, especially. | |
| Red-orange | #F07568 | 240, 117, 104 | Alternative color for the above Red (points of interest). | |
| Medium red | #E0584E | 224, 88, 78 | Border color for areas highlighted in Red-orange | |
| Green | #A0F090 | 160, 240, 144 | Parks or natural preservation areas |
