geoshow
Create a range of different maps using geoshow
.
Create a worldmap. Then project and display world land areas.
worldmap world geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor',[0.5 1.0 0.5])
You can also project and display world land areas using a default Plate Carree projection.
figure geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor',[0.5 1.0 0.5])
The axes show position in latitude and longitude, but are displayed on a set of ordinary axes. To display geographic data on a set of map axes instead, use axesm
, usamap
, or worldmap
before calling geoshow
.
ismap
ans = 0
Read the USA high resolution data.
states = shaperead('usastatehi','UseGeoCoords',true);
Create a SymbolSpec to display Alaska and Hawaii as red polygons.
symbols = makesymbolspec('Polygon', ... {'Name','Alaska','FaceColor','red'}, ... {'Name','Hawaii','FaceColor','red'});
Create a world map of North America with Alaska and Hawaii in red, and all other states in blue.
figure worldmap('north america') geoshow(states,'SymbolSpec',symbols, ... 'DefaultFaceColor','blue','DefaultEdgeColor','black') axis off
Load elevation data and a geographic cells reference object for the Korean peninsula. Import a land area boundary using shaperead
.
load korea5c S = shaperead('landareas','UseGeoCoords',true);
Create a world map. Then project and display the elevation data as a texture map.
figure worldmap(korea5c,korea5cR) geoshow(korea5c,korea5cR,'DisplayType','texturemap') demcmap(korea5c)
Overlay the land area boundary as a line.
geoshow([S.Lat],[S.Lon],'Color','k')
Get geoid heights and a geographic postings reference object from the EGM96 geoid model. Then, display the heights as a surface using an Eckert projection. Ensure the surface appears below the grid lines by setting the 'CData'
name-value pair to the geoid height data and the 'ZData'
name-value pair to a matrix of zeros. Display the frame and grid of the map using framem
and gridm
. Display the parallel and meridian labels using plabel
and mlabel
.
[N,R] = egm96geoid; figure axesm eckert4 Z = zeros(R.RasterSize); geoshow(N,R,'DisplayType','surface','CData',N,'ZData',Z) framem gridm plabel mlabel('MLabelLocation',90) axis off
Create a colorbar and add a text description. Then, mask out all the land.
cb = colorbar('southoutside'); cb.Label.String = 'EGM96 Geoid Heights in Meters'; geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor','k')
Load moon albedo data and a geographic cells reference object. Project and display the data using the default Plate Carree projection.
load moonalb20c
figure
geoshow(moonalb20c,moonalb20cR)
Project and display the moon albedo data using an orthographic projection. To do this, create a map axes object and specify the projection as orthographic. Display the data in the map axes as a texture map using geoshow
. Then, change the colormap to grayscale and remove the axis lines.
figure axesm ortho geoshow(moonalb20c,moonalb20cR,'DisplayType','texturemap') colormap gray axis off
