tightmap (Mapping Toolbox)

Removes white-space around a map

Syntax

tightmap

Description

tightmap sets the MATLAB axis limits to be tight around the map in the current axes. This eliminates or reduces the white border between the map frame and the axes box. Use axis auto to undo tightmap.

Examples

Display a map of Africa. Notice the white space between the map frame and the edge of the axes box.

axesm('miller','maplatlim',[-40 40],'maplonlim',[-20 60])
framem; gridm; mlabel; plabel
plotm(coast)

Now use tightmap to reduce the "wasted space":

tightmap

Limitations

The axis limits are fixed. If a change in the projection parameters changes the size or position of the map display within the projected coordinate system, execute tightmap again.
