XLabel, YLabel, and Title removed from Map Viewer
The XLabel, YLabel, and Title menu items are no longer present in the Map Viewer
Insert menu.
Compatibility Considerations
If you need a title and/or labels, use a standard MATLAB axes instead of a Map Viewer
window, and display objects with the mapshow function.
Less Obtrusive Contextual Help
Contextual help for many dialog boxes, including those accessed via maptool, is now
provided via tooltip strings. The Help button transforms the dialogs into a temporary
state in which clicking on a button presents help text rather than performing an action.
Standard Property Editing
For most map display objects, "extended click" now opens the MATLAB graphics property
editor, instead of opening up a custom property edit dialog specific to Mapping Toolbox.
namem and handlem no longer create an axes
The namem and handlem functions no longer create an axes when one does not already
exist.
WMS Database Modified
The WMS Database changes on a release-to-release basis, as some new servers are
added and other servers are removed because they are no longer online or because their
availability is too sporadic. In R2014a, a total of 106 servers (4.7% of the number of
servers listed in R2013b) and 5,040 layers have been removed from the database and
2,771 new servers, with 50,477 layers, have been added. The updated database contains
a total of 4,920 servers and 111,890 layers.
If you want to find a server, use the server URL or a server URL search string with
wmsfind to search for layers provided by the server or servers. Then use the servers
method of the WMSLayer object to obtain the server or server URLs:
layers = wmsfind(urlSearchString, 'SearchField', 'serverurl')
