Wikipedia:WikiProject Indonesia/Cartography

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.

Works
This list of maps needed for the project. Please use SVG format to create the map. Wikimedia has the capability to convert SVG to PNG for display purposes.

Blank maps
(needed for locator maps) - See all blank maps

Provincial maps
See all Province Locator Maps

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 Location map template.

The format is:

Examples:
 * Jakarta, lat=-6.1333, long=106.75, without caption.


 * Sabang, lat=5.8942, long=95.3192, with caption (notice that frame is used if caption is defined).

Available background images

 * Blank Indonesia image without provincial borders. (Image:Indonesia blank map.svg)
 * Blank Indonesia image with provincial borders. (Image:Indonesia provinces blank map.svg)

Advanced usage
Images can be composed into layers, including text. These examples take advantage of Location map+, Location map~


 * Two cities on a map (Sabang and Merauke) with wikilinks.


 * 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.
