MATLAB: Does the Mapping Toolbox support Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data

Mapping Toolbox

I would like to know if the Mapping Toolbox supports Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data.

Best Answer

The Mapping Toolbox imports and exports generic GIS data in several formats, including shapefile, TIFF/JPEG/PNG with work files, GeoTIFF (read only), and ARC ASCII Grid (read only) and it imports from various more specialized formats (DTED, USGS DEM, SDTS DEM, etc.). See the page below for information on geospatial data on the Internet:

Try downloading your data sets in GeoTIFF format, then use geotiffread. It's not limited to images; it can be used for DEMs as well.

MATLAB: How to plot Earth and drape a mesh with elevation data over it

Dear future reader, this is the solution I found:

Earth = wgs84Ellipsoid;
axesm('globe','Grid','on','GlineStyle','-','Geoid',Earth)
view(3)
axis off
load topo
topo = topo / (1e-2); % The elevation can be exaggerated here 
meshm(topo,topolegend,size(topo),topo);
demcmap(topo)
