Geographic Plots
Visualize data on maps using latitude and longitude coordinates
Visualize latitude and longitude data on interactive maps by using geographic plots. Create line plots, scatter plots, bubble charts, and density plots on maps, provide context for the data using basemaps, and create apps with maps using App Designer.

Explore Geographic Plots
- Interact with Geographic Axes
Explore maps, find the coordinates of points, and select locations for text. - Access Basemaps for Geographic Axes and Charts
Specify basemaps for geographic axes and charts. Download a selection of basemaps and install them on your local system. - Maximize Geographic Axes in Figure
Increase the size of maps within figures.
Customize Geographic Plots
- Add Labels and Annotations to Geographic Axes
Convey information about maps using titles, legends, text, and data tips. - Customize Appearance of Geographic Axes
Customize maps by changing the limits, tick label format, tick locations, colors, and grid lines. - Adjust Transparency of Geographic Density Plots
Emphasize density ranges in density plots by changing the transparency. - Control Bubbles in Standalone Geographic Bubble Charts
Change the bubble sizes and bubble colors in standalone geographic density plots.
Use Geographic Plots in Apps
- Create Geographic Axes in App
Use App Designer to create an app with a map and components that control the map. - Deploy Geographic Axes and Charts
Deploy apps that use basemaps using MATLAB® Compiler™.
