Display Maps Using axesm
-Based Maps
- Introduction to Mapping Graphics
Mapping Toolbox™ display functions are extensions of MATLAB® graphics that automatically optimize the map display. The functions accept data with geographic coordinates instead of Cartesian or polar coordinates. - axesm-Based Maps
Anaxesm
-based map (previously called map axes) contains standard properties of MATLAB graphics axes, with additional properties related to projections, scale, and positioning in geographic coordinates. - Continent, Country, Region, and State Maps Made Easy
You can create a map of a region, such as a continent, country, or group of states, using a projection automatically determined to suit the region being displayed.
Change Projection of axesm
-Based Maps
- 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 Using geoshow
You can display geospatial data on a regular axes, not anaxesm
-based map, using a linear mapping of longitude and latitude to x- and y-coordinates.
