New look of map graphics with improved clarity and aesthetics
MATLAB
®
graphics has a new look and graphics produced by Mapping Toolbox™
functions benefits from these updates, including:
• Lines and edges are anti-aliased, producing a smoother, cleaner look.
• Text, even when rotated, is clearer.
• The new default colormap, called parula, meets modern standards for color
perception. See colormap for more information.
For example, compare these two maps created using the worldmap function. In the
R2014b map, note the new background color, the smoothness of the lines and edges, and,
in particular, the clarity of the degree symbols in the text labels.
