Syntax

wmlimits(latitudeLimits,longitudeLimits)
wmlimits(wm,latitudeLimits,longitudeLimits)
[latlim,lonlim] = wmlimits()
[latlim,lonlim] = wmlimits(wm)

Description

wmlimits(latitudeLimits,longitudeLimits) center the current web map within the specified latitude limits and the longitude limits. If there is no current web map, wmlimits creates one.

Note

The resulting limits often do not match the specified limits because the zoom level is quantized to discrete integer values and the longitude limits may be constrained if the map was constructed with the WrapAround property equal to false.

example

wmlimits(wm,latitudeLimits,longitudeLimits) centers the web map specified by the web map handle wm within the specified latitude limits and longitude limits.

example

[latlim,lonlim] = wmlimits() returns the latitude and longitude limits of the current web map.

example

[latlim,lonlim] = wmlimits(wm) returns the latitude and longitude limits of the web map specified by wm.

Open Live Script

Specify latitude and longitude limits. wmlimits creates the web map.

wmlimits([37 42],[-108.9 -100.7])

Get the latitude and longitude limits of the current web map.

[latitudeLimits,longitudeLimits] = wmlimits()
latitudeLimits = 1×2

   34.7311   44.0468


longitudeLimits = 1×2

 -113.0397  -96.5603
Open Live Script

Create two web maps, specifying different base layers.

wm1 = webmap('OpenStreetMap');
wm2 = webmap('USGSImagery');

Specify latitude and longitude limits and apply to both maps to get two different views of the same region.

latitudeLimits = [37, 42];
longitudeLimits = [-108.9, -100.7];
wmlimits(wm1, latitudeLimits, longitudeLimits)
wmlimits(wm2, latitudeLimits, longitudeLimits)

Input Arguments
