GeoSmoothHistogram
GeoSmoothHistogram[locs]
plots a smooth kernel histogram of the geo locations locs.
GeoSmoothHistogram[locs,espec]
plots a smooth kernel histogram with estimator specification espec.
GeoSmoothHistogram[locs,espec,dfun]
plots the distribution function dfun.
Details and Options
- GeoSmoothHistogram is also known as geo intensity and kernel density.
- GeoSmoothHistogram effectively puts a small bump over each location and sums the heights so that there is a greater overall height where the distribution of locations is denser.
- The location locs has the following forms and interpretations:
-
GeoPosition[…] array of geodetic positions {loc1,loc2,…} list of locations <loc1w1,… > locations with weights WeightedData[…] locations with weights EntityClass[…] entities with locations according to the property "Position" EntityClass[…]prop entities with locations according to the property prop - The locations loci have the following forms:
-
GeoPosition[…] latitude and longitude Entity[…] an entity with a location according to the property "Position" Entity[…]prop an entity with a location according to the property prop - The estimator specification espec can be of the form bw or {bw,kernel}.
- The specifications for bandwidth bw and kernel are the same as for SmoothKernelDistribution.
- The default distribution function dfun is "Intensity".
- The possible settings for dfun are the same as in SmoothHistogram.
- GeoSmoothHistogram has the same options as GeoGraphics with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]

- Typical settings for OpacityFunction include:
-
Automatic automatically determined None no opacity function, fully opaque α constant opacity Opacity[α] Interval[…] make values in the interval more opaque func general opacity function - The arguments supplied to RegionFunction are x, y and f, where f is the intensity.
- The value of region in RegionFunction->region can be an entity or geo polygon over which to plot.
- With the setting MeshShading->Automatic, the colors between mesh lines are computed from the ColorFunction setting.
