Construct a matrix map for a country in the worldlo database

Syntax

Description

[map,maplegend] = country2mtx(countryname,scale) constructs a regular matrix map of a country in the worldlo POpatch database. The scale factor represents the number of matrix entries per degree of latitude and longitude (e.g., 10 entries per degree, 100 entries per degree). The scale input must be scalar. The returned matrix has values of 0 in the interior of the country, 1 on the border and 2 in the exterior.

[map,maplegend] = country2mtx(countryname,scalelatlim,lonlim) uses the two-element vector latitude and longitude limits to define the extent of the map. If omitted, the limits are computed automatically.

[map,maplegend] = country2mtx(countryname,map1,maplegend1) uses the limits of the provided map.
