New Features for Creating Web Map Service Maps
New functions and classes now make it possible to interact with Web Map Service (WMS)
servers and render WMS maps. Use the new features to search a built-in database of pre-
qualified WMS servers and layers. Retrieve customized geographic data sets and related
metadata from WMS servers. The new classes encapsulate WMS servers, data layers,
metadata, and map requests. See the Creating Web Map Service Maps chapter in the
User's Guide and related Class Reference for more information.
New makerefmat Syntax for Constructing Referencing Matrices
A new parameter name-value pair syntax makes it easier to construct referencing
matrices with makerefmat. You can use the new syntax for an image or raster grid that
is referenced to and aligned with a geographic coordinate system but not for one that is
referenced to a 2-D map coordinate system. Use parameters to set the number of rows
(M) and columns (N) of the raster or image to be used with the referencing matrix; the
latitude and longitude limits of the geographic quadrangle bounding the georeferenced
raster; and the edges from which row and column indexing start, designating, for
example, columns that run either south-to-north or north-to-south.
Some Functions Now Accept Referencing Matrices as Input
The functions below now accept referencing matrices as input, and some of them
(maptrims, resizem, and vec2mtx) also generate referencing matrices as output.
The functions that generate referencing matrices as output do so only in cases where
referencing matrices are used as input. If referencing vectors are used as input,
referencing vectors are also generated as output. Note that the functions in this table
work exclusively with data grids or images that are referenced to geographic (latitude or
longitude) coordinates.
