plotting - Implementing GeoCallout?


Building off of a related question, I'm looking for a robust way of using Callouts for multiple locations in Geography. For example, I want to plot cities and their names with arrows and text:



data = CloudGet @ CloudObject[
   "https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/cb8f1216-74dd-463e-85a4-e976b6fd3fd4"];    
GeoListPlot[MapThread[
  Callout[#1, #2, CalloutMarker -> "Arrow", "CalloutStyle" -> Red] &, 
  data], GeoBackground -> "ReliefMap", GeoRange -> "World"
 ]

enter image description here


Clearly, Callout's are not supported in GeoGraphics (and don't issue any warnings if you didn't know that). However, my approach is to fake it by using Callout's in a ListPlot and overlay on top of a blank GeoGraphics map background:


bg = GeoListPlot[{}, GeoBackground -> "ReliefMap", 

   GeoRange -> "World"];
plain = {Reverse@*First /@ data[[1]], data[[2]]};
Overlay[{bg, 
  ListPlot[MapThread[
    Callout[#1, #2, "CalloutStyle" -> Directive[Thick, Red]] &, 
    plain], PlotRange -> {{-180, 180}, {-90, 90}}, Axes -> None, 
   PlotRangePadding -> Scaled[0]]}]

enter image description here


I can't get things to line up exactly for various GeoProjection's, and so that's what I'm looking for help with.



Update for Comment


It is different from this related question, because that solution doesn't look good for some reason here:

Final Update


Thanks @carlwoll, that solves it. However, my formatting of the Mollweide project isn't working as expected. Specifically, I'd like higher resolution (and less label collision if possible). But setting GeoZoomLevel -> 4 gets wiped out in the Show. I'd also like the callouts to look like this last example from ref/CalloutMarker:


ListLinePlot[{Callout[Fibonacci[Range[6]], "Fibonacci", {4, 10}, 5, 
   CalloutMarker -> Arrowheads[0.04], CalloutStyle -> Red], 
  Table[LucasL[n], {n, 6}]}]

enter image description here



Here's your code with my formatting tweaks:


bg = GeoListPlot[{}, GeoBackground -> "ReliefMap", 
   GeoRange -> "World", GeoProjection -> "Mollweide", 
   GeoZoomLevel -> 4];
plain = {First@
    GeoGridPosition[GeoPosition[data[[1, All, 1]]], "Mollweide"], 
   data[[2]]};
Show[bg, ListPlot[
  MapThread[
   Callout[#1, #2, Appearance -> "CurvedLeader", LeaderSize -> 20, 

     CalloutMarker -> "Arrow", 
     LabelStyle -> 
      Directive[FontFamily -> "Verdana", FontSize -> 12, 
       FontColor -> Red], CalloutStyle -> Red] &, plain], 
  Axes -> None, PlotRangePadding -> Scaled[0], 
  PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[0.005], Red]], 
 Options[bg, PlotRange], ImageSize -> 500]

enter image description here



Answer




Just use Show instead of Overlay:


Show[
    bg,
    ListPlot[
        MapThread[
            Callout[#1,#2,"CalloutStyle"->Directive[Thick,Red]]&,
            plain
        ],
        PlotRange->{{-180,180},{-90,90}},
        Axes->None,

        PlotRangePadding->Scaled[0]
    ]
]

enter image description here


An example using a different projection, where the conversion to grid coordinates is more complicated than just using Reverse:


bg = GeoListPlot[
    {},
    GeoBackground->"ReliefMap",
    GeoRange->"World",

    GeoProjection->"Mollweide"
];
plain = {
    First @ GeoGridPosition[GeoPosition[data[[1, All, 1]]], "Mollweide"],
    data[[2]]
};
Show[
    bg,
    ListPlot[
        MapThread[Callout[#1, #2, "CalloutStyle"->Directive[Thick,Red]]&, plain],

        Axes->None, PlotRangePadding->Scaled[0]
    ],
    Options[bg, PlotRange]
]

enter image description here


For your updated question


Sometimes some of the other GeoGraphics options need to be included in the Show call, so simplest would be to include them all. This will fix your GeoZoomLevel issue. As for improving label collisions, the size of the ListPlot will control how many callouts are generated. So, adjust the size with the ImageSize option. Examples:


bg = GeoListPlot[{}, GeoBackground -> "ReliefMap", 
    GeoRange -> "World", GeoProjection -> "Mollweide", 

    GeoZoomLevel -> 4
];
plain = {
    First@GeoGridPosition[GeoPosition[data[[1, All, 1]]], "Mollweide"], 
    data[[2]]
};

Your example, including all GeoGraphics options:


Show[
    bg,

    ListPlot[
        MapThread[
            Callout[#1, #2, Appearance -> "CurvedLeader", 
                LeaderSize -> 20, CalloutMarker -> "Arrow",
                LabelStyle -> Directive[FontFamily -> "Verdana", FontSize -> 12, FontColor -> Red],
                CalloutStyle -> Red
            ]&,
            plain
        ], 
        Axes -> None, PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[0.005], Red]

    ], 
    Options[bg],
    ImageSize -> 500
]

enter image description here


Shrink the ListPlot image size to reduce the number of callouts:


Show[
    bg,
    ListPlot[

        MapThread[
            Callout[#1, #2, Appearance -> "CurvedLeader", 
                LeaderSize -> 20, CalloutMarker -> "Arrow",
                LabelStyle -> Directive[FontFamily -> "Verdana", FontSize -> 12, FontColor -> Red],
                CalloutStyle -> Red
            ]&,
            plain
        ], 
        Axes -> None, PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[0.005], Red],
        ImageSize -> 250

    ], 
    Options[bg],
    ImageSize -> 500
]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
