Why in MAPVIEW does the Geographic data display a bigger bounded picture than the "Boundingbox" specified in SHAPEREAD?

When SHAPEREAD is used for specifying "Boundingbox" the image displayed is bigger than the "Boundingbox" defined using SHAPEREAD('filename', 'Boundingbox', bbox). For example:

 bbox = [10.091 2.308; 10.093 2.309] * 1e5

the displayed data are:

 xmin = 1002935

 xmax = 1011184

 ymin = 229296

 ymax = 239445

Buffer space around the edge is always provided in map view. To work around this issue, the POLYBOOL function in the Mapping Toolbox can be used to filter out L-shaped, corner-wrapping features. For more information regarding this function, enter:

doc polybool

at the MATLAB Command Prompt.
