Geographic map 1: World Land Area

Create a worldmap and project and display world land areas.

figure
worldmap world
geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor',[0.5 1.0 0.5])

Project and display world land areas using a default Plate Carree projection.

figure
geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor',[0.5 1.0 0.5])

Note that the axes show positions in latitude and longitude but on an ordinary axes rather than a map axes.

Geographic map 2: North America with Custom Colored States in the U.S.

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 worldmap of North America with Alaska and Hawaii in red, all other states in blue.

figure
worldmap('north america')
geoshow(states,'SymbolSpec',symbols, ...
    'DefaultFaceColor','blue','DefaultEdgeColor','black')
axis off

Geographic map 3: Korea Elevation Grid

Load the Korea data grid and the land area boundary.

load korea
S = shaperead('landareas','UseGeoCoords',true);

Create a worldmap and project and display the Korea data grid as a texture map.

figure
worldmap(map, refvec)
geoshow(map, refvec,'DisplayType','texturemap')
demcmap(map)
axis off

Overlay the land area boundary as a line.

geoshow([S.Lat],[S.Lon],'Color','black')

Geographic map 4: EGM96 Geoid Heights

Project and display the EGM96 geoid heights as a texture map.

Create a figure with an Eckert projection and project and display the geoid heights as a texture map.

load geoid
figure
axesm eckert4 
framem
gridm
plabel
mlabel('MlabelLocation',90)
geoshow(geoid,geoidrefvec,'DisplayType','texturemap')
axis off

Create a colorbar with a label.

cb = colorbar('southoutside');
label = cb.Label;
label.String = 'EGM96 geoid heights in meters';
label.FontSize = 11;

Mask out all the land.

geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor','black')

Geographic map 5: Moon Albedo Image

Load the moon albedo image.

load moonalb

Project and display the moon albedo image using a default Plate Carree projection.

figure
geoshow(moonalb, moonalbrefvec)

Project and display the moon albedo image as a texturemap in an orthographic projection.

figure
axesm ortho 
geoshow(moonalb, moonalbrefvec,'DisplayType','texturemap')
colormap(gray(256))
