Assume you have 2D dataset (defined by latitude and longitude) and you would like to use the mapping toolbox to produce a nice scientific plot for publications. Due to a small bug you will end up with white edges on the plotframe. Furthermore the resolution is also not suited for publications.

The function splot1(map,maplegend) will do the job.
Input1=map; [nxm] Matrix
Input2=maplegend; (see Mapping Toolbox for further help regarding maplegend).
If wanted the figure will be saved in 'matlabroot\work\figures'. The format used is png and looks nice and sharp in Microsoft Word.
