Is there a way to make the grid of latitude/longitude bolder when I use worldmap('World')

5 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I am very new to this.
I am looking to make the grid of the lat/lon bolder when I use: worldmap('Word').
I plot a colormap over it and I can barely see the grid anymore. Is there a way I can make it bolder?
From this example:
openExample('map/SetUpWorldMapAndDrawCoastlinesExample')
Thank you

You could try something like this:
% Code example with slight change (w=)
w=worldmap('World');
load coastlines
plotm(coastlat,coastlon)
% Find grid line objects and modify line width
p=findobj(w,'Tag','Parallel');
m=findobj(w,'Tag','Meridian');
p.LineWidth = 5;
m.LineWidth = 5;
Remove the semicolons or use the property inspector to see what other porperties are accessible for modifying.
