Details and Options
- GeoGraphValuePlot is also known as a flow map, distributive flow lines, origin-destination flow maps and thematic map.
- GeoGraphValuePlot is used to show the flow of entities such as goods and people between various locations on the Earth by styling the edges in a graph according to the relative sizes of the flows.
- An undirected edge ei between vertices u and v can be given as uv, u<->v, UndirectedEdge [u,v] or TwoWayRule [u,v]. The character can be entered as ue.
- A directed edge ei from u to v can be given as uv, u->v, DirectedEdge [u,v] or Rule [u,v]. The character can be entered as de.
- The geo locations srci and desti can be given in the following forms:
-
- The graph g can be any edge-weighted graph with geographic vertices.
- The option VertexCoordinates can be used to specify geo locations for vertices that do not already contain them, using the same forms to represent geo locations.
- The values vali can be given in the following forms:
-
vali positive number
- Data not given in these forms is omitted from the plot.
- The following special wrappers can be used for vertices and edges:
-
- GeoGraphValuePlot takes the same options as GeoGraphics , with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
-
- EdgeValueRange specifies what range of edge flows to include in the plot.
- The following settings can be given for for EdgeValueRange :
-
All include all edgesAutomatic automatically select the edges to include{min,max} include edges with weights between min and max
- Edges whose sizes are outside the value range are displayed using ClippingStyle .
- EdgeValueSizes specifies the range of thicknesses used to display the edge flows.
- The following settings can be given for EdgeValueSizes :
-
Automatic determine edge sizes automatically{smin,smax} use minimum size smin and maximum size smaxsmax use maximum size smaxNone use the same size for all edges
- With the default setting MissingStyle None , edges without a numeric weight are omitted from the plot.
- ScalingFunctions scale is used to scale the edge weights. Possible settings for scale include:
-
None use linear scaling"Log" use logarithmic scaling"Reciprocal" use reciprocal scaling{f,f-1} use function f and inverse function
- GraphLayout specifies where to draw the edges connecting geographic locations.
- Possible settings for GraphLayout include:
-
Automatic automatically compute edges"StraightLine" use straight lines as edges"Geodesic" use geodesics as edges"Rhumb" use rhumb lines as edges"Driving","Walking","Cycling" transportation methods
- By default, the edges generated by GeoGraphValuePlot are abstract paths, showing self-loops and multiple edges between two vertices when present in the graph.
- If a travel path cannot be found between two vertices, the edge will use "StraightLine" instead.
- EdgeShapeFunction func specifies that each vertex should be rendered with the primitives provided by func[{pt1,pt2},vw], where pt1 and pt2 are the geographic locations of the vertices for the edge vw.
- VertexLabels Automatic automatically labels vertices that are named locations. Vertices that are specified using latitude and longitude are left unlabeled.
- Graph features themes affect the plot of vertices and edges. Feature themes include:
-
"LargeGraph" large graph"NameLabeled" classic graph"IndexLabeled" index-labeled graph
-
ImageMargins 0. the margins to leave around the graphicPreserveImageOptions Automatic whether to preserve image options when displaying new versions of the same graphic
