Web map display with dynamic base maps from OpenStreetMap and
other sources
The new webmap function displays map base layers obtained from Web servers located
on the Internet in a browser window. Map base layers are either named layers, such as
Open Street Map, World Terrain Base, or Ocean Basemap, or Web Map Service
layers (WMSLayer). You can dynamically switch base layers by selecting a base layer
from the layer manager in the window and add vector overlay layers to web maps. You
can use the wmclose function to close the web map window and wmprint to print your
web map to a printer. You can also publish a web map using the MATLAB publish
command.
Functions to add or remove geographic point marker and line overlays
on a web map display
You can add geographic point markers and line overlays on a web map display using the
wmmarker and wmline functions, and remove them using the wmremove function.
Interactive navigation and commands to control web map limits, center,
and zoom level
You can navigate around a web map, using a mouse, or by using the wmlimits,
wmcenter, and wmzoom functions.
Additional object properties for referencing images or data grids to
geographic or planar coordinates
The geographic raster reference and map raster reference classes include new properties
that describe the dimensions of cells or spacing between postings. The following table
lists the properties in relation to the class types, coordinate system type, and key
properties.
