Description
This template converts a positive decimal degree value to degrees° minutes' seconds'' format or to degrees° minutesm secondss format (the degree symbol °
is invariant between the two formats).
Usage
{{Deg2DMS|positive decimal degrees|p=precision|sup=ms}}
.
Parameter p is optional and defaults to 3. It is the number of decimal digits that the seconds are rounded to.
Parameter sup is optional and changes the default apostrophe-format for arcminutes and arcseconds (1° 2′ 3″) to the m-s-format for arcminutes and arcseconds (1° 2m 3s). Any non-blank value has this effect, but using |sup=ms
is customary.
For example:
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837}}
returns 266° 25′ 0.613″.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4}}
returns 266° 25′ 0.6132″.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup= }}
returns 266° 25′ 0.6132″.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup=ms}}
returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup=no}}
returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup=''}}
returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
