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

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.

Ane even better way is to use gridm

% Code example with slight change (w=)
w=worldmap('World');
load coastlines
plotm(coastlat,coastlon)

% Modify grid line width
gridm('GLineWidth',5);
