How can I hide the country boundaries in a Basemap?

Hi everyone,

I plotted a figure using geobubble and I would like to customize it.

For example, I would like to hide the country names and the country/regions boundaries from the Basemap (they are automatically displayed when selecting different basemap). Moreover, I am not able to change the edge color of the bubbles (they are automatically displayed in color white).

Thanks in advance for your help,

AA

Hi Ariana,

 I understand that you are using “geobubble” function to create the maps and want to remove the displayed country names and change the edge colour of bubbles.

1. All the inbuilt base maps of MATLAB display the country names. To remove it, you can create a custom base map by using the “addCustomBasemap” function
2. You can refer to the following documentation to know about “addCustomBasemap” function: https://in.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/addcustombasemap.html
3.  In “geobubble” function, changing the edge color of bubbles is not supported by MATLAB.
4. To know more about the properties of “geobubble” function you can refer to the following documentation: https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.graphics.chart.geographicbubblechart-properties.html

Hope this helps!
