AddPoints - Maple Help

DataSets[Builtin][WorldMap]

 insert a list of points all at once into a WorldMap object

Parameters

 m - a WorldMap object ref - a Reference to the GeoNames dataset plist - a nested list representing a list of points plotopts - (optional) plot options for all points in plist

Description

 • The AddPoints command bulk inserts points into m.
 • If ref is given, all points in ref get inserted into m.
 • If plist is given, each point in plist must be a list of either two or three elements. The first element is the longitude (x-coordinate in the Geographic projection), and the second element is the latitude (y-coordinate in the Geographic projection). The optional third element is a string label for the point.
 • The longitude must lie in the interval [-180,180], and the latitude must lie in the interval [-90,90].
 • If you want to insert multiple points into a WorldMap object, it is more efficient to use AddPoints than calling AddPoint multiple times for the same functionality.
 • plotopts specify how all points in plist get displayed. By default, all points are displayed as black asterisks.

Examples

 > $m≔\mathrm{DataSets}:-\mathrm{Builtin}:-\mathrm{WorldMap}\left(\right)$
 ${m}{≔}\left(\begin{array}{cc}\left[{\mathrm{PLOT}}{}\left({\mathrm{...}}\right)\right]& \begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{A map of the world}}\\ {\mathrm{projection: MillerCylindrical}}\end{array}\end{array}\right)$ (1)
 > $\mathrm{AddPoints}\left(m,\left[\left[-10,-10,"a"\right],\left[10,-10,"b"\right],\left[10,10,"c"\right],\left[-10,10,"d"\right]\right],\mathrm{symbol}=\mathrm{box}\right)$
 $\left(\begin{array}{cc}\left[{\mathrm{PLOT}}{}\left({\mathrm{...}}\right)\right]& \begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{A map of the world with 4 points}}\\ {\mathrm{projection: MillerCylindrical}}\end{array}\end{array}\right)$ (2)
