AxesLabel  (3)

No axes labels are drawn by default:

Place a label on the axis:

Specify axes labels:

AxesOrigin  (2)

The position of the axes is determined automatically:

Draw a frame on the left and right edges:

Draw a frame on the left and bottom edges:

FrameLabel  (4)

Place a label along the bottom frame of a plot:

Frame labels are placed on the bottom and left frame edges by default:

FrameStyle  (2)

Specify the style of the frame:

Specify the style for each frame edge:

GeoLabels  (2)

Specify the width of the plot:

Specify the height of the plot:

Specify the width and height for a graphic, padding with space if necessary:

Setting AspectRatioFull will fill the available space:

Use ImageSizeFull to fill the available space in an object:

Joined  (3)

Join two locations:

By default, GeoListPlot uses geodesics given by GeoPath to join locations:

Join location data from a TimeSeries or EventSeries in temporal order:

LabelStyle  (2)

Change the style of the labels:

Individual labels and styles on locations will override LabelStyle:

PlotMarkers  (3)

Use a default sequence of shapes to distinguish sets of locations:

Mark every location with points:

Use a GeoMarker to mark cities:

PlotStyle  (3)

Use different style directives:

Change the style of the joining curve:

Use different styles on each list of locations:

Applications  (1)

Plot locations of strong earthquakes given by an EventSeries:

Use GeoBubbleChart to show values with scaled bubbles:

Use GeoRegionValuePlot to show values with colored regions:

Use GeoHistogram to aggregate locations into bins:

Use GeoSmoothHistogram to generate smooth densities from locations:
