map.geodesy.authaliclatitudeconverterConvert between geodetic and authalic latitudes
map.geodesy.conformallatitudeconverterConvert between geodetic and conformal latitudes
map.geodesy.isometriclatitudeconverterConvert between geodetic and isometric latitudes
map.geodesy.rectifyinglatitudeconverterConvert between geodetic and rectifying latitudes
When using these classes, make sure there is no variable named map in the same
workspace. The existence of a variable named map will cause MATLAB to return an error
with the message:
"Attempt to reference field in non-structure array."
Additional KML enhancements
The toolbox supports the following enhancements to KML support:
• The new kmlwritepoint function writes a geographic line specified by latitude and
longitude coordinate vectors, and optionally an altitude vector, to a KML file
• The kmlwrite function can now export geographic point features from a geopoint
vector or geoshape vector to a KML file.
• The kmlwrite function now accepts a vector of altitudes in addition to latitude and
longitude coordinate vectors.
Geocentric and parametric latitude functions
Four new functions, geocentricLatitude, geodeticLatitudeFromGeocentric,
parametricLatitude, and geodeticLatitudeFromParametric provide conversions
between geodetic latitude and either geocentric latitude or parametric latitude.
Predicate for checking and validating angle unit strings
The new map.geodesy.isDegree function provides an easy consistent mechanism for
checking and validating angle unit string inputs in which the alternatives 'degrees'
and 'radians' are supported.
When using the map.geodesy.isDegree function, make sure there is no variable
named map in the same workspace. The existence of a variable named map will cause
MATLAB to return an error with the message:
