GeoListPlot: exact placement of label

Bruce Colletti
Posted 10 years ago

Re Mathematica 10.3 under Windows 8.

I use GeoListPlot to show Italy. To mark Rome, I use Labeled[..., Style["Rome",12,Blue]] -- this puts the label "Rome" to the upper-right of the marker.

How do I reposition the label to the lower-left and in general, how do I specify the relative placement about the marker?

Finally, Italy displays with Sardinia and Sicily shown. How do I suppress these?

Thanks.

You may consider switching to GeoGraphics:

romePosition = 
  Entity["City", {"Rome", "Lazio", "Italy"}]["Coordinates"];
GeoGraphics[{Entity["Country", "Italy"], PointSize[Large], 
  Point[romePosition], Text["Rome", romePosition, {1, -1}]}]

More precisely:

itcont = Entity["Country", "Italy"]["Polygon"];
GeoGraphics[Line[GeoPosition[itcont[[1, 1, 1]]]], 
 GeoBackground -> None]

Thank you, Gianluca. That works!

Is there a way to suppress the display of Sardinia and Sicily? It's easy enough to cut these out in a graphics editor but I'm hoping there's a Mathematica function or option that does so.
