{{Superimpose/شرح}} is a utility which superimposes one image over another, and positions it relative to the top left corner of the bottom image. Although the original idea was to place a dot on a locator map based on editable coordinates, it can be used to precisely overlay any two images for any reason.

The wikicode below will create the image at right:

{{Superimpose| base = US_Locator_Blank.svg
 | base_width = 288px
 | base_caption = United States Locator Map
 | float = Red Dot.svg
 | float_width = 10px
 | float_caption = Boulder, Colorado
 | x = 83
 | y = 53
}}

To get started, you can simply copy this blank definition into your page, and fill in the data.

}}

A Note about the Locator Dot

عدل

I originally built this template thinking I could use an SVG file with transparency (mostly for the dot in locator maps). However, it seems Internet Explorer users can't handle transparent PNGs without a fix that Wikimedia's not yet delivering, so for now I recommend using the GIF version in the example above. When IE better supports PNGs, we can swap the better format back in. —Papayoung 02:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
