GeoListPlot

Dear All,

I'm currently using GeoListPlot to visualize countries:

GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "UnitedStates"], 
  Entity["Country", "Netherlands"]}, ImageSize -> 1200, 
 GeoRange -> "World"]

I was wondering why for the USA, Alaska is not highlighted? Is it possible to use "FullPolygon" like you can with CountryData?

Regards,

SH

As in:

GeoListPlot[{Entity["Country", "UnitedStates"], 
  Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"Alaska", "UnitedStates"}]}]

By the way, I would never have figured this out if it was not in an example in the documentation. I tried several attempts at entity discovery using control-= but didn't come up with an equivalent except to explicitly include Alaska as an additional entity.

Yes, and oil!

That is very nice! So I can definitely include it!

I still think, though, that it should be included by default. It's a very substantial amount of land that is missing!!

Indeed, The Netherlands is by default composed of multiple parts:

GeoListPlot[Entity["Country", "Netherlands"], ImageSize -> 1200]

So I really see no reason to not include (a rough shape of) Alaska in the default polygon...

You will get no argument from me! ;-)

I see in the Documentation for GroPlot there is this entity construction

GeoVariant[Entity["Country", "UnitedStates"], "AllAreas"]

So this works:

GeoListPlot[{GeoVariant[Entity["Country", "UnitedStates"], 
   "AllAreas"], Entity["Country", "Netherlands"]}, ImageSize -> 1200, 
 GeoRange -> "World"]

Somewhat obscure...

It seems really easy to fix right?

Just update the CountryData-dataset to include (a rougher version of) Alaska for the polygon version. And using the paclet data it should get updated...right?

Ah yes, the famous (and very old) "where is Alaska" "bug"...
