Map Display

2-D and 3-D map display, customization, and interaction

Mapping Toolbox™ includes graphical display functions for visualizing geospatial data in 2D and 3D. You can combine vector and raster data sets in single display, and create contour displays and other types of thematic maps. For information about the analogy between mapping graphics and standard MATLAB^®graphics, seeIntroduction to Mapping Graphics.
