Topics

Geographic Plots

Plot in Geographic Coordinates

If you have data that is associated with specific geographic locations, use a geographic axes or chart to visualize your data on a map and provide visual context.

Pan and Zoom Behavior in Geographic Axes and Charts

The geographic axes and charts plot data over a map. You can pan and zoom in and out on the map.

Specify Map Limits with Geographic Axes

You can change the latitude and longitude limits of the map in a geographic axes or chart programmatically using the geolimits function.

Customize Layout of Geographic Axes

Customize the layout of a geographic axes by modifying its properties.

Basemaps

Access Basemaps for Geographic Axes and Charts

Geographic axes and charts plot data over a basemap. You can download some of these basemaps and install them on your local system.

Troubleshoot Geographic Axes or Chart Basemap Connection

Often, the geographic axes or chart requires an Internet connection to retrieve basemap data from the MathWorks®. This topic describes how to check your connection.

Geographic Density Plots

View Cyclone Track Data in Geographic Density Plot

This example shows how to view cyclone tracking data in a geographic density plot.

View Density of Cellular Tower Placement

This example shows how to use a geographic density plot to view the density of cellular tower placement in California.

Deployment

Deploy Geographic Axes and Charts

You can deploy a MATLAB® application that uses a geographic axes or chart.
