GeoLabels

is an option for GeoListPlot and GeoRegionValuePlot that specifies whether and how to add labels to the locations in the first argument.

Details

  • The following settings can be used:
  • Trueadd text labels to graphical output
    Falseadd no labels
    funcapply func to each of the names of the location
  • The arguments supplied to functions in GeoLabels are graphicsi, regi, and EntityValue[regi,"Position"], where graphicsi is the Graphics or GeoGraphics object that marks regi, by default either a Point or a Polygon.
  • In GeoRegionValuePlot, there is a fourth argument supplied to functions in GeoLabels, which is the value vali associated to regi.

Basic Examples  (2)

Add labels to a set of cities:

Wolfram Language code: GeoListPlot[{ Entity["City", {"Atlanta", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Savannah", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Naples", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}] }, GeoLabels -> True]

Add labels in a GeoRegionValuePlot:

Wolfram Language code: GeoRegionValuePlot[{ Entity["Country", "Albania"] -> 2, Entity["Country", "Germany"] -> 3, Entity["Country", "Namibia"] -> 8, Entity["City", {"Atlanta", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}] -> 1, Entity["City", {"Savannah", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}] -> 1.2 }, GeoLabels -> True]

Scope  (2)

Make tooltip labels:

Wolfram Language code: GeoListPlot[{ Entity["City", {"Atlanta", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Savannah", "Georgia", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"Naples", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}] }, GeoLabels -> (Tooltip[#1, #2]&)]

Use tooltips to show the names, positions, and values of each location:

Wolfram Language code: Column[{GeoRegionValuePlot[["South America"] -> "Population", GeoLabels -> (Annotation[#1, Column[{#2, #3, #4}], "Mouse"]&)], Dynamic[MouseAnnotation["Hover over a country"]]}]

Properties & Relations  (1)

Change the style of the labels:

Wolfram Language code: GeoListPlot[{ Entity["Country", "Albania"], Entity["City", List["Stuttgart", "BadenWurttemberg", "Germany"]], Entity["Country", "France"], Entity["Country", "Germany"] }, GeoLabels -> True, LabelStyle -> {Italic, Blue}]

Neat Examples  (1)

Use tooltips to show multiple pieces of information:

Wolfram Language code: GeoRegionValuePlot[{Entity["Country", "Bulgaria"], Entity["Country", "Turkey"], Entity["Country", "Greece"], Entity["Country", "Romania"]} -> "Population", GeoLabels -> (Tooltip[#1, Row[{#2, ": ", #4, ", ", EntityValue[#2, "ReligionsFractions"]}]]&)]
