MATLAB: Does WORLDMAP display a clipped map frame in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)

clippedframeincompleteMapping Toolboxside;sp2threeworldmap

I am using the WORLDMAP command to generate a map frame as follows:

worldmap('Africa')

However, this displays a map frame with only three sides of the frame. The rest of the frame appears to be clipped.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) in the way that WORLDMAP displays a clipped map frame.

As a workaround, you can execute the following command to reset the frame to a complete frame:

tightmap loose

An alternate workaround is to execute the following command:

set(handlem('frame'),'clipping','off')

As a workaround, specify the map projection through the AXESM command. For example:

axesm('eqdazim')

MATLAB: Do WORLDMAP and USAMAP plot an empty map axes in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)

MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) does not ship with geopolitical boundary data ("Atlas Data"), as in previous releases. The change in behavior of WORLDMAP and USAMAP is intentional, and accommodates this change. Thus, WORLDMAP and USAMAP now choose an appropriate projection and create empty map axes with limits corresponding to their input arguments. In order to plot map data within a map axes, you must follow calls to WORLDMAP and USAMAP with calls to display functions such as GEOSHOW or PATCHM to render user-supplied or demo map data files.

Users who want to construct a map axes with WORLDMAP and add base map data in a single step can download a new function called WORLDDATAMAP from MATLAB Central

<http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=7550&objectType=file>

and additional vector data in shapefile format from various sources on the Internet. Several data sources are cited in the downloaded documentation. Users can invoke WORLDDATAMAP using the same syntax as in older versions of WORLDMAP (Mapping Toolbox Version 2.0.3 (R14SP1) and earlier). Additional WORLDDATAMAP features and its ability to read and display vector data from shapefiles extend the functionality of WORLDMAP.

For more information on the functions mentioned and examples of their new implementations, please see the Version 2.1 (R14SP2) Mapping Toolbox release notes and the documentation for GEOSHOW, WORLDMAP, and USAMAP.
