GeoGraphics
GeoGraphics[primitives,options]
represents a two-dimensional geographical image.
Details and Options
- Using GeoGraphics requires internet connectivity.
- GeoGraphics is displayed in StandardForm as a graphical image.
- GeoGraphics takes a set of geo graphics primitives, does a projection, and returns a graphical image.
- GeoGraphics uses the same primitives as Graphics, with the following additions:
-
GeoBoundsRegion[ranges] latitude-longitude rectangle GeoCircle[pt,r] cartographic circle supporting geo entities GeoDisk[pt,r] cartographic disk area supporting geo entities GeoHemisphere[pt] hemisphere centered at position pt GeoHemisphereBoundary[pt] boundary of a hemisphere, i.e. a great circle or ellipse GeoMarker[pts] pushpin supporting geo entities GeoPath[pts] cartographic path supporting geo entities GeoVisibleRegion[pt] visible area from an elevated point GeoVisibleRegionBoundary[pt] horizon from an elevated point DayHemisphere[date] half of Earth illuminated by the Sun at a given time NightHemisphere[date] half of Earth not illuminated by the Sun at a given time DayNightTerminator[date] closed path separating the day and night hemispheres - GeoGraphics uses the same directives as Graphics, with the following addition:
-
GeoStyling[mapstyle] display faces of filled geo objects using mapstyle - GeoGraphics has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes:
-
GeoBackground Automatic style specifications for the background GeoCenter Automatic center coordinates to use GeoGridLines None geographic grid lines to draw GeoGridLinesStyle Automatic style specifications for geographic grid lines GeoModel Automatic model of the Earth to use GeoProjection Automatic projection to use GeoRange Automatic geographic area range to include GeoRangePadding Automatic how much to pad the geographic range of values GeoScaleBar None scale bar to display GeoServer Automatic specification of a tile server GeoZoomLevel Automatic zoom to use for geographic background MetaInformation {} meta-information about the map - GeoStyling["Streetmap"] or GeoStyling["StreetmapNoLabels"] is used as the default styling for GeoBackground, depending on the projection.
- GeoGraphics[] gives a map centered on the current geo location with default geo styling.
- AbsoluteOptions can be used to give explicit values for geo graphics settings.
- Clicking on a geo graphic and selecting the Get Coordinates tool from the Graphics ▶ Drawing Tools allows coordinate information to be interactively read off.
