Map Plotting Julia

Functions for plotting on automatically downloaded images from Google maps and Open street map. Primitive versions of https://github.com/zoharby/plot_google_map here implemented in Julia.

plotGoogleMap()

Downloads an image from Google maps and plots an existing line/scatter-plot on top of the image. (Requires api-key)

Example of plotting the position of six capitals in Europe on top of a roadmap image from Google maps:

using("plotGoogleMap.jl")
maptype = "roadmap"
format = "png"
apikey = "SOME_LONG_STRING_FROM_GOOGLE"
tempPath = raw"PATH_TO_DIR\temp.png" # Temporary path for saving image, can be removed by rm(tempPath)
lat = [48.8708,   51.5188,   41.9260,   40.4312,   52.523,  37.982]
lon = [2.4131,    -0.1300,    12.4951,   -3.6788,    13.415,   23.715]
p = scatter(lon,lat,color=:blue,label="cities")
plotGoogleMap(p,apikey,maptype,format,tempPath)
title!("Six capitals in Europe")

plotOSM()

Downloads an image from Open Street Map (OSM) and plots an existing line/scatter-plot on top of the image.

Example of plotting the position of six capitals in Europe:

using("plotOSM.jl")
tempPath = raw"PATH_TO_DIR\temp.png" # Temporary path for saving image, can be removed by rm(tempPath)
lat = [48.8708,   51.5188,   41.9260,   40.4312,   52.523,  37.982]
lon = [2.4131,    -0.1300,    12.4951,   -3.6788,    13.415,   23.715]
p = scatter(lon,lat,color=:blue,label="cities")
plotOSM(p,tempPath)
title!("Six capitals in Europe")
