KML export for line features
The new kmlwriteline function writes a geographic line specified by latitude and
longitude coordinate vectors, and optionally an altitude vector, to a KML file. The
existing kmlwrite function can now write geographic line features from a geoshape
vector or line geostruct vector to a KML file.
Additional KML attributes for both points and lines: AltitudeMode,
Camera, Color, and LookAt
The kmlwrite function can now include additional KML attributes when writing
exporting geographic points or lines to a KML file: AltitudeMode, Camera, Color,
LookAt, and Width.
Multiple track log and route import in gpxread function
The gpxread function can now read multiple track logs or routes from a GPX file
Dynamic vector input in shapewrite, geoshow, and mapshow
The geoshow, mapshow, shapewrite and kmlwrite functions now accept dynamic vectors
as input. The following table lists the functions and identifies the specific dynamic
vectors that they accept.
geoshow mapshow shapewrite kmlwrite
geopoint Yes — Yes Yes
mappoint — Yes Yes —
geoshape Yes — Yes Yes
mapshape — Yes Yes —
Auxiliary latitude converter objects
The toolbox includes several new classes, listed below, that provide methods for
performing conversions between geodetic latitude and the four types of auxiliary latitude
commonly used to implement map projections: authalic, conformal, isometric, and
rectifying.
