This documentation is transcluded from Template:WPTC track map/doc.
This template is an updated version of {{Hurricane auto track map}} for newer tropical cyclone track maps. These track maps will be put automatically in the public domain as {{PD-self}}. When generating a track using the new, updated, colors of en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Color RfC, as should be the case for all new track maps, please pass colors=new
.
Usage
[edit]For most storms, use this formulation of the template:
{{WPTC track map | author= | name= | season= | start= | end= | source= | catname= | code=}}
For current storms, where the pre-filled source information will not be adequate (see Parameters below), use this formulation to provide a custom source:
{{WPTC track map | author= | name= | season= | start= | end= | othersource= | catname= | code=}}
Parameters
[edit]Parameter | Description | Acceptable value |
---|---|---|
name
|
Name of the storm for which this track map was made | Any string |
article
|
Article for the storm for which this track map was made; if the same as name , then this parameter is not needed
|
Any string |
season
|
Season article to which this storm belongs | Any string |
season2
|
Second season article to which this storm belongs (after crossing into another basin) | Any string |
author
|
Author of the track map | Any string |
source
|
For common data sources, this field provides pre-filled source information. See the template's source code to see the existing pre-filled templates. | Any of NHC , CPHC , JTWC , JMA , BOM , IMD , NHCCPHC , CPHCJTWC , JMAJTWC , IMDJTWC , BOMJTWC , IBTrACS , SPEArTC , SPEArTCJTWC
|
othersource
|
If a custom data source is being used (e.g. running best tracks), fill out the correct source description here | Any string |
otherversions
|
If there are other versions of the track map, fill out their links (or gallery) here | Any string |
catname
|
The name of the storm's Commons category. By default, the template tries to put the track map in [[:Category:{{{name}}}]] , and also sort the track map in [[:Category:{{{season}}}]] and [[:Category:Tropical cyclone tracks]] with {{{name}}} . Entering a value here will override this assumption.
|
Any string |
code
|
This optional parameter can store the invocation of the track map generator on the command line. | Any string |
colors
|
This optional parameter controls whether to display the new colors approved in en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Color RfC. If set to new the new colors will be used, otherwise the old colors will be used.
|
new
|
scale
|
This optional parameter controls which scale to show the map's color key for. Currently, besides the default SSHWS, only the JMA scale is available. | JMA
|
Example
[edit]This code produces the result immediately below:
<nowiki>
{{WPTC track map
| author = Titoxd
| name = Hurricane Adrian
| season = 2011 Pacific hurricane season
| start = 2011-06-03
| end = 2011-06-09
| source = NHC
| catname = Hurricane Adrian (2011)
| code = ./track --format atcf --input ../tracks-data/2011/btk/bep012011.dat --output ~/public-html/wptc-maps/Adrian_2011_track.png --extra 1
| colors = new

Summary
Description |
English: Track map of Hurricane Adrian of the 2011 Pacific hurricane season. The points show the location of the storm at 6-hour intervals. The colour represents the storm's maximum sustained wind speeds as classified in the (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the nature of the storm, according to the legend below.
