DynamicGeoGraphics

DynamicGeoGraphics[primitives,options]

represents a dynamic, interactive, two-dimensional geographical image.

Details and Options

  • Using DynamicGeoGraphics requires internet connectivity.
  • DynamicGeoGraphics takes a set of geo graphics primitives and returns an interactive image that can be panned and zoomed.
  • DynamicGeoGraphics[] gives a map centered on the current geo location.
  • DynamicGeoGraphics[GeoGraphics[map]] converts a static map to an interactive map when possible.
  • GeoGraphics[DynamicGeoGraphics[map]] creates a static map from an interactive map.
  • DynamicGeoGraphics 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
  • DynamicGeoGraphics uses the same directives as Graphics, with the following addition:
  • GeoStyling[mapstyle]display faces of filled geo objects using mapstyle
  • DynamicGeoGraphics has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
  • GeoBackgroundAutomaticstyle specifications for the background
    GeoCenterAutomaticcenter coordinates to use
    GeoGridLinesNonegeographic grid lines to draw
    GeoGridLinesStyleAutomaticstyle specifications for geographic grid lines
    GeoGridRangeAllprojected coordinate range to include
    GeoGridRangePaddingAutomatichow much to pad the projected range
    GeoModelAutomaticmodel of the Earth (or other body) to use
    GeoProjectionAutomaticprojection to use
    GeoRangeAutomaticgeographic area range to include
    GeoRangePaddingAutomatichow much to pad the geographic range

    GeoServerAutomaticspecification of a tile server
    GeoZoomLevelAutomaticzoom to use for geographic background
    MetaInformation{}metainformation about the map
    RasterSizeAutomaticraster dimensions for the background data
  • GeoProjection allows only the settings "Mercator" and "Equirectangular" in DynamicGeoGraphics.
  • Resizing the results of DynamicGeoGraphics[] changes the range of the map rather than the scale.
  • Clicking on a geo graphic and selecting the Get Coordinates tool from the Graphics ▶ Drawing Tools allows coordinate information to be interactively read off.
  • List of all options
