Maps in the Stereographic Projection can extend more than 90 degrees
from the origin
When using axesm to construct a map axes with MapProjection set to 'stereo',
the map is no longer limited to areas within 90 degrees of the origin. Instead, areas
can extend out as far as 179.5 degrees, although the largest practical range is probably
somewhere between 120 and 150 degrees.
Spheroid objects display additional properties
The command-line display for single instances of the oblateSpheroid and
referenceEllipsoid classes now lists the following additional (and dependent) properties:
• Flattening
• ThirdFlattening
• MeanRadius
• SurfaceArea
• Volume
The display for a single instance of referenceSphere now lists SemimajorAxis,
SemiminorAxis, InverseFlattening, Eccentricity, along with the five properties
already included in the preceding list. To avoid cluttering the display, the numerical
values of these additional properties are omitted, but can be view individually.
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.
A total of 297 servers (12.5% of the number of servers listed in R2013a) and 15,907 layers
have been removed from the database. A total of 174 new servers, with 6,077 layers, have
been added. The new database contains a total of 2,253 servers and 66,453 layers.
A total of 17 new servers, with 1,896 layers, have been added. The new database contains
a total of 2,378 servers and 76,283 layers.
