Template:Maya stela

This template shows the maya stella corresponding to a specific date. Gregorian, julian and maya dates can be given.

Examples
The corresponding stellae of the following examples are at the end of the text.


 * For today's stela, no parameter is necessary (shown at right):  


 * Other gregorian date:   (Stella A1)


 * For obtaining the stela for maya date 12.19.17.1.4 write:   (Stella A2)


 * The GMT correlation is used by default. Other correlation number must be given as a fourth parameter. This parameter could be a number or a code for the correlation (see Template:Maya Correlation)


 * Using a number for the correlation:   (Stela A3)


 * Using the code, GMT as example:   (Stela A4)


 * For inserting dates is the Julian calendar insert a special keyword (Cal=J).


 *   (Stella A5)


 * The dates before Christ are counted astronomically by default, i.e 1BC=0, 2BC=-1...., but the BC convention can be used with the keyword Era=BC. The following entries produce the same stella:


 *   (Stella B1)


 *   (Stella B2)


 * There is some discussion if a piktun corresponds to 13 or 20 baktuns. The value of 20 baktuns is used by default. The value of 13 baktuns can be chosen by inserting a special keyword (Pik=13). The following entries for December 21st, 2012 do not produce the same stella (13.0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0.0):


 *   (Stella C1)


 *   (Stella C2)

Limitations
The ISIG glyphs are not operational because is difficult to find examples for these glyphs in the public domain.
