Mapping Toolbox™ functions axesm
and setm
enable
you to control the full range of properties when constructing a projected map axes.
Functions worldmap
and usamap
, on the other
hand, trade control for simplicity and convenience. These two functions each create a
map axes object that is suitable for a country or region of the world or the United
States, automatically selecting the map projection, limits, and other properties based
on the name of the area you want to map. Once you have jump-started your map with
worldmap
or usamap
, you are ready to add
your data, using geoshow
or any of the lower level geographic data
display functions. Optionally, you can use the map axes object created by
worldmap
or usamap
as a starting point,
and then customize it by adjusting selected properties with
setm
.
