How to use "hold", or similar function, with Geobubble?

7 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I am trying to use the function geobubble multiple times in the same code to allow for different colors and sizes of bubbles on my map. To do so, I am trying to put the statement "hold on" between runs of geobubble, but am given the error, "Using hold with geobubble is not supported."
Another way I tried to solve this was by setting the map to parent axes with the statement "AxesH = axes('NextPlot', 'add');" at the beginning of the code. But, this gave me the error, "GeographicBubbleChart cannot be a child of Axes."
I am using Matlab2018A if it makes a difference. Any tips or alternate ways to approach this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
for ii = 2017:2018
T = readtable('RealQuakes5.xls');
TT = T(T.Year == ii,:)
figure
AxesH = axes('NextPlot', 'add');
TT.MagnitudeCat = discretize(TT.Magnitude,-2:1:10,'categorical');
gb = geobubble(TT,2,3,'SizeVariable','Magnitude','ColorVariable','MagnitudeCat','Basemap','colorterrain','Parent', AxesH);
geolimits([36 50],[-82, -56])
gb.BubbleColorList = flipud(autumn(12));
default_width_range = gb.BubbleWidthRange;
gb.BubbleWidthRange = [1 20];
hold on
gb = geobubble(TT,2,3,'SizeVariable','Magnitude','ColorVariable','MagnitudeCat','Basemap','colorterrain','Parent', AxesH);
geolimits([36 50],[-82, -56])
gb.BubbleColorList = flipud(autumn(12));
default_width_range = gb.BubbleWidthRange;
gb.BubbleWidthRange = [1 20];
title(ii)
end

figure;
geoaxes('NextPlot','add');
geoplot(x1,y1);
geoscatter(x2,y2,V,C,'fill');

geobubble allows for size and color to be specified as variables. You can concatenate your data in one table, and use the size and color variables instead for your need.
geobubble(lat,lon,sizedata,colordata)
