map size mapping toolbox

I am drawing a map of a very small region using matlab mapping toolbox using the following:

worldmap([lat(1) lat(end)],[lon(1) lon(end)]) contourfm(lat,lon,data) linem(lat,long) %coastline

The problem is that the region is so small that the figure appears very small as well, which I find strange. How can I make the map as big as the figure size??

Thanks a lot!

Hey Leon,

You can adjust the figure size with the help of geolimits function. If the figure is to small then you can simply set the frame accordingly!

With geolimit function, you have 2 option,

1. Adjust the frame automatically

geolimits auto

2. Adjust the frame manually

geolimits([28 65],[-158 -100])

the above code sets the frame to fit the western us.

You can learn more about geolimits from the following documentation.

I hope it helps you in your further projects.

Thanks and regards,
