R2009a
13-2
geoshow and mapshow Now Construct Ordinary Patch Objects
When displaying polygons, instead of constructing graphics objects whose classes derive
from patch, geoshow and mapshow now construct ordinary patch objects.
Compatibility Considerations
This change has no effect on the display, but it does have some effect on your ability to
load and save figures. If you have a figure containing a polygon displayed by geoshow or
mapshow that was saved in R2008b or earlier, you will not be able to load it in R2009a.
You may also notice the change if you call get on a handle. The older (derived) class
included several extra properties used only for internal bookkeeping. In R2009a, these
properties have been removed, and the output of get looks different in terms of both
layout and property order. (It now looks the same as for any ordinary patch.)
