degrees2dm - Convert degrees to degrees-minutes

Syntax

DM = degrees2dm(angleInDegrees)

Description

DM = degrees2dm(angleInDegrees) converts angles from values in degrees which may include a fractional part (sometimes called "decimal degrees") to degree-minutes representation. The input should be a real-valued column vector. Given N-by-1 input, DM will be N-by-2, with one row per input angle. The first column of DM contains the "degrees" element and is integer-valued. The second column contains the "minutes" element and may have a nonzero fractional part. In any given row of DM, the sign of the first nonzero element indicates the sign of the overall angle. A positive number indicates north latitude or east longitude; a negative number indicates south latitude or west longitude. Any remaining elements in that row will have nonnegative values.

Example

angleInDegrees = [ 30.8457722555556; ...
                  -82.0444189583333; ...
                   -0.504756513888889;...
                    0.004116666666667];
dm = degrees2dm(angleInDegrees)

dm =
