Basic examples

using GeoMakie, CairoMakie # you could use GLMakie too

lons = -180:180
lats = -90:90

-90:90

Create some field of values across lons and lats This grid can be of any density, but note that the time it takes to plot scales with the grid size!

field = [exp(cosd(l)) + 3(y/90) for l in lons, y in lats]

Surface example

fig = Figure()
ax = GeoAxis(fig[1,1])
sp = surface!(ax, lons, lats, field; shading = NoShading)
fig

To save your plot, run e.g. save("surf_example.png", fig; px_per_unit=2).

Each backend saves differently - GLMakie and WGLMakie save as images, but CairoMakie can be used to save PDFs and SVGs as well.

# Scatter example
slons = rand(lons, 2000)
slats = rand(lats, 2000)
sfield = [exp(cosd(l)) + 3(y/90) for (l,y) in zip(slons, slats)]

fig = Figure()
ax = GeoAxis(fig[1,1])
scatter!(slons, slats; color = sfield)
fig

Again, to save, run e.g. save("scatter_example.png", fig; px_per_unit=2).
