- You can specify additional parameters after the file name, following the ? character. The parameters must be separated by the & character.
- lat: latitude
- lon: longitude (if specified, the longitude labels will also be displayed)
- paper: paper size (a4 or paper, default is a4)
- margin: margin (default 10mm)
- ppm: pixels/arcmin (default 1.2)
- latTicks: where to display the latitude scale (default is all: left,center,right)
- latTickLabels: where to display the 30' labels (default is all: left,center,right)
- lonTicks: where to display the longitude scale (default is all: top,middle,bottom)
- lonTickLabels: where to display the 30' labels (default is all: top,middle,bottom)
- Save the generated image in PDF format using your browser's "Print to PDF" option. (You may need to set the margins to 0.)
