Dimensional parameters

This template includes code that allows input of dimensional information: any of height, width, length, and diameter, as well as a freeform parameter for adding nonstandard information.

There are 11 parameters, of which most fall into two groups of unit types:

height_imperial
width_imperial
length_imperial
diameter_imperial

These define the respective values for Imperial or US customary units such as the foot or inch. If the imperial unit is set to feet, inch specification can be added with height_inch, width_inch, length_inch, otherwise these _inch-suffixed parameters should not be used.

height_metric
width_metric
length_metric
diameter_metric

These define the respective values for SI (metric) units such as the metre (meter) or centimetre (centimeter).

Once raw numerical values are established in the above parameters, the units are set in the imperial_unit and metric_unit parameters, which default to inches and centimetres respectively.

If information is provided in only one unit system, it is automatically converted to the other using the unit that is defined for that system. In general, this should be used, as for most pieces of artwork measurements will only be taken in one unit system. Do not use a comma as decimal indicator for metric units (as used in some European and other countries) since the conversion does not recognize commas and the imperial measurement will be calculated incorrectly (e.g. use 30.8 not 30,8).

Users should take care to avoid false precision: measurements should be provided in the same unit, and with the same number of significant digits, as when they were taken. ("1 metre" is far less precise than "1000.00 millimetres", even though they are, in theory, the same length!)

If additional dimensional data is needed, the dimensions parameter can be used to add freeform information to the end of the rendered string. This parameter accepts raw wikitext and is not subject to any automatic conversion or modification ({{convert}} would have to be used manually).

References concerning artwork dimensions can be appended to the dimensional data by placing them in the optional dimensions_ref parameter.

Map and coordinates

The coordinates= parameter is used to display coordinates in the infobox, and optionally at the top of the page; use the {{coord}} template.

Two types of maps are available: pushpin maps (static) or mapframe maps (dynamic).

Pushpin maps

{{Infobox artwork
...
| coordinates         = <!-- Use the {{Coord}} template. -->
| pushpin_map         = <!-- Location name used for Template:Location map -->
| pushpin_map_alt     = <!-- Location name used for Template:Location map -->
| pushpin_relief      = 
| pushpin_label_position =
| map_dot_label       = 
| map_size            = 
| pushpin_map_caption = <!-- Text to be displayed below map; for no caption enter "pushpin_map_caption="; -->
...
}}

Mapframe maps

A Mapframe map is automatically included if:

It has been turned on by setting |mapframe=yes
There are coordinates specified in |coord=, or if the Wikidata item for the page (or as specified in |qid=) has a value for coordinate location (P625)
No pushpin map has been specified

The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map

Basic parameters:
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no
- mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
- mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, the subsequent mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
- mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
- mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata
- mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show shape/line features from the wikidata item, if any, when |coord= is set. Default: not specified
Customise which features are displayed:
- mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
- mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
- mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Default: not specified
- mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
- mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
  - auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
  - geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
  - zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
Other optional parameters:
- mapframe-frame-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
- mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
- mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060
- mapframe-shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
- mapframe-stroke-color or mapframe-stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
- mapframe-stroke-width – Width of line features, and outlines of shape features; default is "5". Default: 5
- mapframe-marker – Marker symbol to use for coordinates; see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons for options. Default: monument
  - Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
- mapframe-marker-color or mapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3
- mapframe-geomask-stroke-color or mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour – Color of outline of geomask shape. Default: #555555
- mapframe-geomask-stroke-width – Width of outline of geomask shape. Default: 2
- mapframe-geomask-fill – Color used to fill outside geomask features. Default: #606060
- mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity – Opacity level of fill outside geomask features, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
- mapframe-zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10
- mapframe-length_km or mapframe-length_mi or mapframe-area_km2 or mapframe-area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or square miles). Default: not specified
- mapframe-frame-coordinates or mapframe-frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates
