octave-mapping

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

octave-mapping has been updated to version 1.2.0:

• The following functions are new in mapping 1.2.0:

deg2km degtorad degrees2dm degrees2dms dm2degrees dms2degrees extractfield fromDegrees fromRadians geoshow km2deg km2rad km2nm km2sm makesymbolspec mapshow nm2km nm2sm nm2rad nm2deg radtodeg rad2km removeExtraNanSeparators roundn shapedraw shapeinfo shaperead shapewrite sm2km sm2nm sm2rad sm2deg toDegrees toRadians unitsratio validateLengthUnit

• The function `distance' has been greatly improved with more options including calculating the azimuth between points and support different angle units.

• The function km2deg can accept an optional radius or the name of some Solar System objects.

• Test functions for deg2rad, km2deg and rad2deg have been added.

• Functions shapeinfo, shaperead, shapewrite and shapedraw are meant to process ArcGIS shape files. Functions mapshow and geoshow are simple Matlab-compatible wrappers for shapedraw. A basic implementation of makesymbolspec is also present. For some functionality of shaperead.m, shapewrite.m and shapedraw.m the Octave-Forge geometry, io and octclip packages are required. The shape* functions are considered experimental yet. Only projected data files can be drawn and several limitations apply. On the other hand some functionality is present that supersedes ML compatibility. See the help for each function.
