Do I have a way to match the map to the frame of x-y axis?

[petercreateParticipant]

I watched the online example and tried to specify the size, but still cannot hit the target. My global map seems to be 7200 by 3600 pixels. When I defined the canvas with these dimensions, I got a much larger space area with very tiny global map inside. Do you know the reason?

What I show here is a 25% image.

Here is how we set up the Hurricane example …

 

Set the range of the graph to be equal to the size of the graph.  You can check the pixel size of the graph in the Graphic command.

 

Set the x and y range to correspond to the map units (latitude and longitude).  For example, set the Include as shown and the Padding to be ‘None’.

If it is still too small maybe the zoom has been set to too low a value.

Hope that helps!

Nice looking map by the way!!

Thanks. I tried your way, the graph shows exceeding the expected range, seeing here

While after I adjusted the size of the graph manually and carefully, I got this with a good match of the graph and the frame.

Do you know the reason? Or anywhere I missed?

The line you are setting is the location of the x-y coordinate system, which is independent of the size of the canvas.

Set all the margins to zero and then they will match.

I find it helpful to continue to draw the x and y axes to see that they are scaled correctly (assuming you are overlaying some data).

The axis labels are not exported with the figure as they are outside of the range.

FYI — One shortcut is to create a graph for composition.  That creates a canvas with the margins already set to zero.

Many thanks. Do you have a way to export the figure with axis’ labels?

Here are two options.

Add the margins back in and increase the size of the graph accordingly.

OR …

Create a second graph using the File/New Graph/For Composition, mentioned above.

Select the first graph in the Graphic command.

Then you can set the size here to what you want for export in more meaningful units and scale the image as needed. Also allows you to add other text labels.

Either way can work.  It would be matter of preference and what you want to do with the desired output.

It works. Thanks.
