Version 2.2
Released: 01 Sep 2005Version 2.2, part of Release 14 with Service Pack 3, includes the following enhancements:
- New functions for geodetic-geocentric-local vertical coordinate conversion.
- The function
shapewriteenables additional user control over shapefile content. - The functions
shapereadandshapewriteprocess data substantially faster. - The functions
mapview,mapshow, andgeoshowprovide proper rendering of polygons with inner rings. - The MapViewer writes a worldfile to georeference the images it saves.
- TIGER/Line file support is enhanced.
See the Release Notes for details.
Version 2.1
Released: 07 Mar 2005- The new function
shapewriteenablesgeodatato be exported in a shapefile format - The new function
etoporeads from either the 5-minute or the 2-minute global terrain data set gshhsnow returns a version 2 geostruct- The toolbox now excludes geopolitical data that specify national sovereignty over specific regions of the Earth. To that end,
the toolbox no longer contains the functions
worldlo,worldhi,usalo,usahi, andcountry2mtx. Related changes have been made to the functionsworldmapandusamap. For more information, please see the Release Notes. - Links and URLs to documentation and data files for various Internet sources of digital map data are now collected in a technical note, “Accessing Geospatial Data on the Internet for the Mapping Toolbox.”
Version 2.1, part of MathWorks Release 14 with Service Pack 2, also includes a number of bug fixes. See the Release Notes for details.
Version 2.0.3
Released: 22 Sep 2004- More than 20 major bug fixes and minor enhancements
- A new and much faster implementation of the polygon set operations (intersection, union, subtraction, exclusive or)
