Ways to Get Mapping Toolbox Help

The Mapping Toolbox documentation is available in electronic form as PDF and HTML files through the helpdesk command. You might want to print the reference chapters to browse through them. This is best done from the PDF version, available at the MathWorks Web site, http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/map/map_ug.pdf.

You can find a classified list of functions in the Geospatial Data Import and Access (online only). Help is available for individual commands and classes of Mapping Toolbox commands:

• help map for computational functions

• mapdemos for a list of Mapping Toolbox demos

• maps lists all Mapping Toolbox map projections by class, name, and ID string.

• maplist returns a structure describing all Mapping Toolbox map projections.

• projlist to list map projections supported by projfwd and projinv

• helpwin functioname to see the output of help displayed in the Help browser window instead of the Command Window
