Hey Israel,
I understand that you want to combine a shapefile with a geographic map in MATLAB, you can use the Mapping Toolbox. Here's an example of how you can do it:
% Load the shapefile
faults = shaperead('path/to/faults.shp');
% Create a geographic axes
ax = geoaxes;
% Plot the geographic map
geoplot(ax, 'worldrivers');
% Plot the faults on top of the map
geoplot(ax, faults);
% Customize the plot as needed
title('Geographic Map with Faults');
legend('Faults');
% Add other map elements if desired
geolimits(ax, [lonmin lonmax], [latmin latmax]);
geobasemap(ax, 'grayland');
In this example, path/to/faults.shp should be replaced with the actual path to your shapefile. The geoplot function is used to plot both the geographic map and the faults on the same axes. You can customize the plot by adding titles, legends, and other map elements using the various functions provided by the Mapping Toolbox.
You can go through the MathWorks documentation for a better understanding of the functions
I hope this helps!
