MATLAB_MAP
Examples of MATLAB's Mapping Toolbox


MATLAB_MAP is a MATLAB library which illustrates the use of MATLAB's mapping toolbox, for drawing maps of the world, various countries, or individual US states.

Related Data and Programs:

CITIES, a MATLAB library which handles various problems associated with a set of "cities" on a map.

CITIES, a dataset directory which contains sets of data defining groups of cities.

FLORIDA_CVT_GEO, MATLAB programs which explore the creation of a centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) of the state of Florida, based solely on geometric considerations.

Examples and Tests:

CHESAPEAKE_BAY is an example from the Mapping Toolbox User's Guide, which draws the states around the Chesapeake Bay area.

FLORIDA_OUTLINE draws a map of the outline of Florida (no cities, no rivers, no neighboring states).

FLORIDA_SAMPLE draws a map of the outline of Florida, and then samples 100 points at random within that outline, using the polygonal representation of the state.

FLORIDA_VORONOI shows how, with a little work, MATLAB's lazy voronoi() command can be tricked into drawing a reasonable Voronoi diagram over a map of Florida created with the Mapping Toolbox.
