MATLAB Plot Selector Now Includes mapshow and geoshow
The Plot Selector workspace tool creates graphs of workspace variables. The mapshow
and geoshow functions have been added to the list of possible plotting functions available
in the Plot Selector. For more information about the Plot Selector, see Enhanced Plot
Selector Simplifies Data Display.
Support for Retrieving Web Map Service Data in Image/BIL Format
Some servers render layers in the 'image/bil' format as a single band with a class
type of int16 or int32. You can now use the wmsread function to retrieve this data.
Expanded Data Type Support for mapshow and geoshow
The mapshow and geoshow functions now have expanded class support for raster data
display.
WMS Database Modified
The WMS Database changes on a release-to-release basis, as some new servers are added
and some unavailable servers are removed. A total of 244 servers (10.4% of the number
of servers listed in R2010a) and 111,514 layers have been removed from the database. A
total of 380 new servers, with 65,834 layers, have been added. The new database contains
a total of 2,502 servers and 300,848 layers. Some notable new servers in the database
are:
• 242 new WMS servers from NOAA's Environmental Research Division Data Access
Program (ERDDAP) (http://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/wms). These
servers provide oceanographic data, and additional information about them may be
found at http://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/info/index.html.
• A server from the European Space Agency, removed in R2010a but now back in the
Database (http://ssems1.esrin.esa.int/mapServer/mapServer?).
• 115 new servers from the DataFed Web Map Server (http://
webapps.datafed.net).
• Two new servers from NASA WorldWind WMS (http://www.nasa.network.com/
elev? and http://www.nasa.network.com/wms?). The 'elev' server provides
data in the 'image/bil' format.
• Two new servers from the USGS dedicated to emergency operations. These servers
provide imagery of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico:
