Map Creation
Create map axes and
axesm
-based maps; set
properties of mapsMapping Toolbox™ provides several ways to create map displays, including
map axes (since R2023a) and
axesm
-based maps.
For a comparison of map axes and axesm
-based
maps, including when to use each type of display, see Choose a 2-D Map Display.
Functions
Topics
Map Axes
- Create Common Plots Using Map Axes
Display data in map axes using point, line, and polygon plots, scatter plots, and bubble charts. - Change Projection and Projection Parameters
Map axes automatically reproject plotted data when you change the map projection or projection parameters. - Create Map Axes in an App
Use App Designer to create an app that includes a map axes object and components that control the map projection and the visibility of plotted data.
axesm
-Based Maps
- axesm-Based Maps
Anaxesm
-based map contains standard properties of MATLAB® graphics axes, with additional properties related to projections, scale, and positioning in geographic coordinates. - Create Maps of World and US Regions
Create maps of continents, countries, and US states by using theworldmap
andusamap
functions. The functions automatically select projections based on the specified region. - Switch Between Projections
You can change the map projection. Usually the new map projection displays the same part of the world, and you can adjust theaxesm
-based map properties to refine the map appearance. - Reprojection of Graphics Objects
Many objects onaxesm
-based maps can be automatically reprojected based on changes to the map projection or to some map properties. - Change Map Projections When Using geoshow
Change the projection of anaxesm
-based map after displaying raster and vector data using thegeoshow
function.
