Automatically adjust Russia on the map (Mathematica 10.0)

Bug introduced in 10.0.0 and fixed in 10.1

I'm using Mathematica 10.0 on Windows 10. If I take a map of any country (even continent), it automatically adjusts the size of the map.

GeoGraphics[Polygon@EntityClass["Country", "Europe"]]


Except of Russia that reflects the whole map.

GeoGraphics[Polygon@Entity["Country", "Russia"]]


Is it a sort of a bug for Mathematica V 10.0? Can somebody reproduce this behaviour of the Russian map?

• Can't reproduce your problem. See "answer" below. – m_goldberg Nov 22 '15 at 18:48
• That seems to narrow it down to Windows or V10.0. That takes me out of the game. I don't have access to such software. – m_goldberg Nov 22 '15 at 19:24
• @garej Please, do not delete the question. It is relevant for other people with the same version. There is also specific tag bugs for confirmed bugs. – ybeltukov Nov 22 '15 at 19:52
• @ChipHurst You know, there is no certain edge. It looks like undesired behavior. All other countries looks much better and the answer depends on your origin :) – ybeltukov Nov 22 '15 at 20:25
• in Soviet Russia, planet adjusts to fit country. – Tobia Tesan Nov 23 '15 at 6:03

Version 10.0.0:

Version 10.1 and above:

Tested on Linux. It seems that other OS have the same behavior.

One can extract proper options from recent version and put them to 10.0.0:

GeoGraphics[Polygon@Entity["Country", "Russia"],
GeoProjection -> {"LambertAzimuthal",
"Centering" -> GeoPosition[{59.4954, 105.06}]}, GeoRange -> All,
GeoZoomLevel -> 3, PlotRange -> {{-0.884836, 0.884836}, {-0.349549,
0.531066}}]


• Mother Russia is still too big :) – eldo Nov 22 '15 at 19:48
• @ybeltukov, may I ask you to check also this GeoListPlot[ Polygon@Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"Chukotka", "Russia"}], GeoRange -> {{40, 80}, {0, 200}}, GeoProjection -> "Albers"]. I have a part of Chukotka not included. (is it due to GeoProjection?) – garej Nov 22 '15 at 20:40
• @garej I get this in version 10.0.0. I propose to use my last example in the answer. – ybeltukov Nov 22 '15 at 20:45

I have the same difficulties with 10.0 on Windows. The best I can get to display the complete area of Russia is

GeoGraphics[Polygon @ Entity["Country", "Russia"],
GeoProjection -> "Mercator",
GeoRange -> {{40, 80}, {25, 195}},
ImageSize -> 600]


Update

To also show Kaliningrad in the far west

GeoGraphics[{
PointSize[0.02],
Polygon@Entity["Country", "Russia"]},
GeoProjection -> "Mercator",
GeoRange -> {{40, 80}, {18, 195}},
ImageSize -> 600]


• add some space to the left, Kaliningrad left outside =)) – garej Nov 22 '15 at 20:04
• Of course ! See update :) – eldo Nov 22 '15 at 20:34

This is not an answer; it is a comment that needs to show an image.

I don't get what you show from

GeoGraphics[Polygon @ Entity["Country", "Russia"]]


I get

I evaluated your code with V10.3 running on OS X 10.10.2.
