GeoListPlot[{list1, list2, …}] generates a map showing several lists of locations. ## Details and Options * The geographic locations ``loci`` can be given in the following forms: | | | | ----------------------- | ----------------------- | | GeoPosition[{lat, lon}] | latitude and longitude | | Entity[…] | geographic entity | | Dated[ent, date] | dated entity | | GeoGroup[{…}] | grouped set of entities | | Polygon, GeoDisk, … | geographic regions | * Multiple locations ``locs`` can be given in the following forms: | | | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | {loc1, loc2, …} | list of individual locations | | GeoPosition[{pos1, pos2, …}] | array of geo positions | | EntityClass[…] | class of geo entities | * The data ``datai`` for ``GeoListPlot`` can be given in the following forms: | | | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | {e1, e2, …} | list of elements with or without wrappers | | <\|k1 -> e1, k2 -> e2, …\|> | association of keys and values | | WeightedData[…] | positions with weights for values | | w[{e1, e2, …}, …] | wrapper applied to a whole dataset | | w[{data1, data1, …}, …] | wrapper applied to all datasets | * The following wrappers can be used for map elements: | | | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | Annotation[e, label] | provide an annotation | | Button[e, action] | define an action to execute when the element is clicked | | EventHandler[e, …] | define a general event handler for the element | | Hyperlink[e, uri] | make the element act as a hyperlink | | Labeled[e, …] | display the element with labeling | | Legended[e, …] | include features of the element in a chart legend | | PopupWindow[e, cont] | attach a popup window to the element | | StatusArea[e, label] | display in the status area when the element is moused over | | Style[e, opts] | show the element using the specified styles | | Tooltip[e, label] | attach an arbitrary tooltip to the element | * Data not given in these forms is ignored in forming the plot. * ``GeoListPlot`` takes the same options as ``GeoGraphics``, with the following additions and changes: [] | | | | | ------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | GeoLabels | None | whether to label locations with their names | | Joined | False | whether to join consecutive locations | | LabelStyle | Automatic | graphics directives to determine style of labels | | PlotLegends | Automatic | legends for data | | PlotMarkers | Automatic | how to mark locations | | PlotStyle | Automatic | graphics directives to determine style of the loci | * The following settings for ``GeoLabels`` can be used: | | | | --------- | ----------------------------------- | | Automatic | add text labels to graphical output | | None | add no labels | | func | apply the function func | * ``PlotMarkers`` can take the following forms: | | | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | Automatic | automatically chosen plot markers | | Polygon | use polygons | | Point | use points | | GeoMarker | use geo markers | | "OpenMarkers" | open shapes | | g | markers consisting of copies of expression g | | {g, s} | expression g at size s | | {Automatic, spec} | automatic marker with fallback spec | | {Polygon, spec} | polygon with fallback spec | | {spec1, spec2, …} | plot marker specifications for data1, data2, … | * With ``PlotMarkers -> Automatic``, polygons are used to show entity regions. A point will be used instead if the polygon is too small compared to the overall map, or if no polygon is available. * The arguments supplied to functions in ``GeoLabels`` are ``graphicsi``, ``regi``, and ``EntityValue[regi, "Position"]``, where ``graphicsi`` is the ``Graphics`` or ``GeoGraphics`` object that marks ``regi``, by default either a ``Point`` or a ``Polygon``. ### List of all options |

"UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Boston", "Massachusetts", "UnitedStates"}]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Highlight some countries of Southeast Asia: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Indonesia"], Entity["Country", "Malaysia"], Entity["Country", "Thailand"], Entity["Country", "Vietnam"]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Display the countries that participated in the Korean War: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{DeleteCases[EntityValue[Entity["HistoricalEvent", "KoreanWarBegins"], "CountriesInvolved"], Entity["HistoricalCountry", __]]}, GeoBackground -> "ReliefMap", GeoRange -> "World" ] Out[1]= [image] ``` ### Scope (5) Display multiple lists of locations: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{{Entity["Country", "Bulgaria"], Entity["Country", "Greece"]}, {Entity["Country", "Albania"], Entity["Country", "Romania"]}, {Entity["Country", "Turkey"], Entity["Country", "Lebanon"]}}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- On large scales, cities and other small locations are marked by points: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Ireland"], Entity["City", {"Atlanta", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Savannah", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- ``GeoListPlot`` works with most geographic entities and ``GeoPosition`` : ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Desert", "GobiDesert::cy8gv"], EntityClass["Country", "Europe"], Entity["Building", "TajMahal"], GeoVariant[Entity["Country", "UnitedStates"], "AllAreas"], GeoPosition[{RandomReal[{0, 90}], RandomReal[{-180, 180}]}]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- ``GeoListPlot`` works with annotated locations: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Tooltip[Entity["Country", "Nepal"], "Nepal"], StatusArea[Entity["Country", "Bhutan"], "Bhutan"], Labeled[Entity["Building", "TajMahal"], "Taj Mahal"]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- ``GeoListPlot`` works with ``TemporalData``, ``TimeSeries``, and ``EventSeries``, such as the main landings of the first voyage of Columbus: ```wl In[1]:= ts = EventSeries[{{{1492, 8, 3}, Entity["City", {"PalosDeLaFrontera", "Huelva", "Spain"}]}, {{1492, 9, 6}, Entity["Island", "LaGomera"]}, {{1492, 10, 12}, Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"SanSalvador", "Bahamas"}]}, {{1492, 10, 28}, Entity["Country", "Cuba"]}, {{1492, 12, 5}, Entity["Island", "Hispaniola"]}, {{1493, 2, 15}, Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"Azores", "Portugal"}]}, {{1493, 3, 8}, Entity["City", {"Lisbon", "Lisboa", "Portugal"}]}}]; GeoListPlot[ts, Joined -> True] Out[1]= [image] ``` ### Options (44) #### AspectRatio (4) By default, the ratio of the height to width for the plot is determined automatically: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Make the height the same as the width with ``AspectRatio -> 1`` : ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, AspectRatio -> 1] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Use numerical value to specify the height-to-width ratio: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, AspectRatio -> 1 / GoldenRatio] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- ``AspectRatio -> Full`` adjusts the height and width to tightly fit inside other constructs: ```wl In[1]:= map = GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, AspectRatio -> Full] Out[1]= [image] In[2]:= {Framed[Pane[map, {50, 100}]], Framed[Pane[map, {100, 100}]], Framed[Pane[map, {100, 50}]]} Out[2]= {[image], [image], [image]} ``` #### Axes (4) By default, ``Axes`` are not drawn for maps: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Use ``Axes -> True`` to turn on axes: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Axes show ``GeoGridPosition`` coordinates for the projection instead of latitude and longitude: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["City", {"LosAngeles", "California", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Perth", "WesternAustralia", "Australia"}], Entity["City", {"Accra", "GreaterAccra", "Ghana"}], Entity["City", {"Milan", "Lombardy", "Italy"}], Entity["City", {"Seoul", "Seoul", "SouthKorea"}]}, Axes -> True, GeoProjection -> "Albers", GeoRange -> "World"] Out[1]= [image] In[2]:= {GeoPosition[Entity["City", {"Perth", "WesternAustralia", "Australia"}]], GeoGridPosition[Entity["City", {"Perth", "WesternAustralia", "Australia"}], "Albers"]} Out[2]= {GeoPosition[{-31.96, 115.84}], GeoGridPosition[{2.14146, 0.522685}, "Albers"]} ``` --- Turn each axis on individually: ```wl In[1]:= {GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> {True, False}], GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], \[FreeformPrompt]["Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> {False, True}]} Out[1]= {[image], [image]} ``` #### AxesLabel (3) No axes labels are drawn by default: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Place a label on the $y$ axis: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> y] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Specify axes labels: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {x, y}] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### AxesOrigin (2) The position of the axes is determined automatically: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Specify an explicit origin for the axes: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesOrigin -> {75, 10}] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### AxesStyle (4) Change the style for the axes: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> Red] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Specify the style of each axis: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> {{Thick, Brown}, {Thick, Blue}}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Use different styles for the ticks and the axes: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> Green, TicksStyle -> Black] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Use different styles for the labels and the axes: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Sweden"], Entity["Country", "Brazil"], Entity["Country", "Australia"], Entity["Country", "China"], Entity["Country", "Canada"]}, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> Green, LabelStyle -> Black] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### Frame (4) ``GeoListPlot`` does not use a frame by default: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»]] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Use ``Frame -> True`` to draw a frame around the plot: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Draw a frame on the left and right edges: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> {{True, True}, {False, False}}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Draw a frame on the left and bottom edges: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### FrameLabel (4) Place a label along the bottom frame of a plot: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"label"}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Frame labels are placed on the bottom and left frame edges by default: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"latitude", "longitude"}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Place labels on each of the edges in the frame: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {{"left", "right"}, {"bottom", "top"}}] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Use a customized style for both labels and frame tick labels: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {{"left", "right"}, {"bottom", "top"}}, LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, Black]] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### FrameStyle (2) Specify the style of the frame: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True, FrameStyle -> Directive[Black, Thick]] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Specify the style for each frame edge: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[IconizedObject[«data»], Frame -> True, FrameStyle -> {{Directive[Black, Thick], Red}, {Directive[Gray, Thick], Blue}}] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### GeoLabels (2) Add the names of the specified locations as labels: ```wl In[1]:= GeoListPlot[{Entity["City", {"Atlanta", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Savannah", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Naples", "Campania", "Italy"}]}, GeoLabels -> Automatic] Out[1]= [image] ``` --- Add the names of

{"Naples", "Campania", "Italy"}]}, GeoLabels -> (Tooltip[#1, #2]&)] Out[1]= [image] ``` #### ImageSize (4) Use named sizes such as ``Tiny``, ``Small``, ``Medium`` and ``Large`` : ```wl In[1]:= {GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Bulgaria"], Entity["Country", "Greece"], Entity["Country", "Albania"], Entity["Country", "Romania"], Entity["Country", "Turkey"], Entity["Country", "Lebanon"]}, ImageSize -> Tiny], GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Bulgaria"], Entity["Country", "Greece"], Entity["Country", "Albania"], Entity["Country", "Romania"], Entity["Country", "Turkey"], Entity["Country", "Lebanon"]}, ImageSize -> Small]} Out[1]= {[image], [image]} ``` --- Specify the width of the plot: ```wl In[1]:= {GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Bulgaria"], Entity["Country", "Greece"], Entity["Country", "Albania"], Entity["Country", "Romania"], Entity["Country", "Turkey"], Entity["Country", "Lebanon"]}, ImageSize -> 150], GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "Bulgaria"], Entity["Country",
