Compatibility Considerations
Use the above functions with arguments to avoid raising errors. Their GUIs will continue
to be available via maptool (which places menus on a figure containing map axes), but
they are not being actively supported and will be eliminated in a future release.
New Functions for Degrees-Minutes-Seconds Conversions
Four new functions have been added to convert to and from decimal degrees and degrees-
minutes-seconds (DMS):
• dms2degrees — Convert degrees-minutes-seconds to degrees
• dm2degrees — Convert degrees-minutes to degrees
• degrees2dms — Convert degrees to degrees-minutes-seconds
• degrees2dm — Convert degrees to degrees-minutes
The DMS inputs and outputs of these functions are vectors of one row and three columns
for each row in the decimal degrees input or output. The first column contains the
“degrees” element and is integer-valued. The second column contains the “minutes”
