MATLAB: Hi I have a doubt in changing map projection

how to change map projection?

I have matrices of latitude and longitude data.The latitude and longitude data are projected according to ortho map projection. I want to convert these matrices into a linear ID array of latitude and longitude.

I am not sure how to do it.

Is there a way to do it in Matlab?

Thanks in advance

Do something like this solve your problem:

Lat1D = LAT2D(:);
Long1D = LONG2D(:);

If that gives you the values in a "wrong" order you can just transpose the 2-D matrices first.

Try this:

Angles180 = @(a) rem(180+a, 360)-90;
Result = Angles180([-90, 0, 90])
Result =
     0    90   180

If I understand well your question, I would manage to do it using AXESM labeling properties.

Full description at the bottom of http://www.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/axesm.html

To illustrate, replace your call to AXESM with the following:

 axesm('MapProjection', 'ortho', 'origin', [-20,-75], ...
       'ParallelLabel', 'on', 'PLabelMeridian', -20) ;

Note that it would not make sense to display this information on the x and y axes. See, for example, parallels on your map: they describe curves in the x and y axes, so you can not take a given y and label it e.g. 30°S.
