maptriml

Trim line vector map to a specified region

Syntax

• [lat,lon] = maptriml(lat0,lon0,latlim,lonlim)
  

Description

[lat,lon] = maptriml(lat0,lon0,latlim,lonlim) returns filtered NaN-delimited vector map data sets from which all points lying outside the desired latitude and longitude limits have been discarded. These limits are specified by the two-element vectors latlim and lonlim, which are two-element vectors of the form [south-limit north-limit] and [west-limit east-limit], respectively.

Examples

A simple example:

• lat0 = [1:10,9:-1:0]; lon0 = -30:-11;
  [lat,lon] = maptriml(lat0,lon0,[3 7],[-29 -12]);
  [lat lon]
  ans =
     NaN   NaN
       3   -28
       4   -27
       5   -26
       6   -25
       7   -24
     NaN   NaN
       7   -18
       6   -17
       5   -16
       4   -15
       3   -14
     NaN   NaN
  

Notice that trimmed line segment ends have NaNs inserted at trim points.
