Map Axes

Define map axes; set map axes properties

Functions

`axesm`	Create map axes

`worldmap`	Construct map axes for given region of world

`previewmap`	View map at printed size
`showaxes`	Toggle display of map coordinate axes

`axesmui`	Define map axes and modify map projection and display properties
`gcm`	Current map projection structure
`getm`	Map object properties
`ismap`	True for axes with map projection
`paperscale`	Set figure properties for printing at specified map scale
`setm`	Set properties of map axes and graphics objects

`clma`	Clear current map axes
`clmo`	Clear specified graphics objects from map axes
`handlem`	Handles of displayed map objects
`handlem-ui`	GUI for selecting mapped objects
`hidem`	Hide specified graphic objects on map axes
`ismapped`	True, if object is projected on map axes
`namem`	Names of graphics objects
`showm`	Specify graphic objects to display on map axes
`tagm`	Set `Tag` property of map graphics object

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.
The Map Axes
A 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.
- Create Simple Maps Using worldmap
- Create Simple Maps Using usamap

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 the map axes properties to refine the map appearance.
Reprojection of Graphics Objects
Many objects on a map axes can be automatically reprojected based on changes to the map projection or to some map axes properties.
Change Map Projections Using geoshow
You can display geospatial data on a regular axes, not a map axes, using a linear mapping of longitude and latitude to x- and y-coordinates.
