GeoAxesOrigin

is an option for GeoGraphics that specifies the location where the latitude and longitude axes cross.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Draw a map of Africa with geo axes centered at Cairo:

Wolfram Language code: GeoGraphics[Entity["GeographicRegion", "Africa"], GeoAxes -> True, GeoAxesOrigin -> Entity["City", {"Cairo", "Cairo", "Egypt"}], GeoBackground -> "Plain"]

Properties & Relations  (1)

GeoAxes specifies whether to add latitude, longitude axes to the map and how to style them:

Wolfram Language code: GeoGraphics[Entity["Country", "UnitedStates"], GeoAxes -> <|"AxisStyle" -> White, "Style" -> Directive[Haloing[White, 0, 1], Scaled[.025]]|>]

GeoAxesOrigin specifies where they should be placed:

Wolfram Language code: Show[%, GeoAxesOrigin -> Entity["City", {"Chicago", "Illinois", "UnitedStates"}]]
