I'm trying to find out if it's possible to create custom point markers (from some image files) in Matlab with Mapping Toolbox.
So far, I didn't find anything about this in their documentation. Online searches only yielded:
No. The marker shapes are hard-coded and you cannot add new ones. If you want a custom
marker, then at each point you want the marker, you will have to use line() or
equivalent to draw the marker or image() or equivalent to draw in an image.

PS: I also cross-posted this to https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3413/using-custom-point-markers-in-matlab-mapping-toolbox
How about this? Image Markers: Plots an image and superimposes a binary image as a colored marker.

I'm trying to show a custom non-geographical map with CRS.simple as explained here:
In a CRS.Simple, one horizontal map unit is mapped to one horizontal
pixel, and idem with vertical
However, I wish to use an SVG vector image as an overlay, but I don't get how the map unit is decided in this case, since the vector images don't really have a resolution?
Also, how could set the CRS origin's location to a specific point?
Thanks for helping
I am building a map and want to use the leaflet markercluster plugin to cluster any markers that intersect visibly (the icons overlap each other). I can't seem to figure out a way to check whether the markers icons intersect though.
I've examined the documentation and the Marker objects. The marker object has no "bounds" object and has no function to return the bounds of the icon.
Yes, it's possible.
This is implemented in some Leaflet plugins, like Leaflet.LayerGroup.Collision - the technique involves fetching the computed style of each icon's HTML element to get the actual size in CSS pixels, offset those numbers by the relative pixel position of the marker's LatLng, and using a rtree data structure to speed up the calculation of the overlaps. Do have a look at the complete source for LayerGroup.Collision plugin.
Note that this technique only takes into account the rectangular bounding boxes of the icons; while it would be possible to check for the individual transparent pixels, that would involve more complex data structures and a different technique to fetch the opacity of each pixel.
I want to create a polarplot() on which I want to plot custom bitmaps/images as marker.
Also, I want to animate the polarplot() by updating these marker's location in regular time intervals(500milliseconds).
Please see the below attached image to get an idea what I want.

I have made a similar application using 'polar()' and 'imagesc()'.
But I feel 'polarplot()' is better and recommended by Matlab.
Also there are so many customization options available with polarplot().
But I am unable to use imagesc() with polarplot because of some polar coordinate-to-cartersian coordinate conversion problem.
Pleas give solution.
Is there any other better methods to follow?
Is it possible to create labels for conical surfaces in MS-word.
I have a label ready, but it needs to adapt to that the printed label can be pasted on a conical surface (e.g. a coffee cup)
I doubt it. You could try using WordArt: these are predefined shapes, maybe one of those matches what you want to do.
I suspect you'd be better off using a program like Adobe Illustrator, which can convert text to vector images which you can distort any way you like.
The bigger problem is that the label won't fit properly on a shape that is curved in two dimensions: you'll always have folds somewhere.
I am desiging a simple GUI application in Matlab using GUIDE.
I am displayed a number of axis - and I would like to add some simple design elements to make the interface clearer. I would like to draw a colored rectangle around an axis (seperate from the axis)... there are two such axes, each displaying details of some things shown in a third plot, and I would like this color clue to link the details to the overview.
So is it possible to add simple geometric shape objects to a Matlab GUI? I don't see anything but controls in GUIDE but perhaps its possible to add them manually with an explicit command?
It is generally difficult to draw any random shape. Except Square & rectangle, for which you can create panels and change the properties like BorderWidth and HighlightColor.
Since MATLAB GUI is based on Java, you can create any object in MATLAB GUI which can be created in Java. You can refer to this website [1] for further learning.
