Transforming Longitude/Latitude for Alaska and Hawaii
For convenience, the default 'U.S.' map does not display Alaska and Hawaii in their geographical locations, but shifts and (in the case of Alaska) re-scales them to an inset position below California. For this reason, you should transform your raw latitude and longitude data for Alaska and Hawaii prior to generating the chart.
To remap your raw longitude and latitude data, [long lat], to the corrected values, [long' lat'], apply the following matrix transformations:
