-------------------------------------------------------------------
** The following functions are new in mapping 1.2.1:
rasterread
rasterinfo
rasterdraw
gdalread
wrapToPi
wrapTo2Pi
wrapTo180
wrapTo360
** New features
Reading GIS raster data: A first go is provided using
functions rasterread.m and rasterinfo.m. Both invoke binary
function gdalread() of which an initial version was provided
by Shashank Khare. rasterread.m and rasterinfo.m can read
and return info on any raster data type that the underlying
GDAL library can read. As such, separate functions for e.g.,
GeoTIFF and ArcGrid etc. are not required.
To make use of these functions the GDAL library must be
present on your system => GDAL is a suggested dependency.
mapshow.m: drawing raster data is now supported.
shapedraw.m: drawing speed of filled polygons and multipatches
is much improved
wrapTo180.m, wrapTo360.m, wrapToPi.m, wrapTo2Pi.m: Provided
by Oscar Monerris Belda and turned into their present versions
with help of a.o., Andreas Weber
** Bug fixes:
shapewrite.m: correct Lat/Lon mix-up
update overall BoundingBox for Point type
shaperead.m: improve reading Nr. of parts (of Polylines/-gons)
** To avoid shadowing core functions rad2deg and deg2rad, these
functions are only copied into place if Octave (< 4.2) does not
have them.
Summary of important user-visible changes for mapping 1.2.0:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** The following functions are new in mapping 1.2.0:
deg2km
degtorad
degrees2dm
degrees2dms
dm2degrees
dms2degrees
extractfield
fromDegrees
fromRadians
geoshow
km2deg
km2rad
km2nm
km2sm
makesymbolspec
mapshow
nm2km
nm2sm
nm2rad
nm2deg
radtodeg
rad2km
removeExtraNanSeparators
roundn
shapedraw
shapeinfo
shaperead
shapewrite
sm2km
sm2nm
sm2rad
sm2deg
toDegrees
toRadians
unitsratio
validateLengthUnit
** The function `distance' has been greatly improved with more options
including calculating the azimuth between points and support different
angle units.
** The function km2deg can accept an optional radius or the name of some
Solar System objects.
** Test functions for deg2rad, km2deg and rad2deg have been added.
** Functions shapeinfo, shaperead, shapewrite and shapedraw are meant to
process ArcGIS shape files. Functions mapshow and geoshow are simple
Matlab-compatible wrappers for shapedraw. A basic implementation of
makesymbolspec is also present.
For some functionality of shaperead.m, shapewrite.m and shapedraw.m
the Octave-Forge geometry, io and octclip packages are required.
The shape* functions are considered experimental yet. Only projected
data files can be drawn and several limitations apply. On the other
hand some functionality is present that supersedes ML compatibility.
See the help for each function.
