MATLAB: Is it possible to make ‘geostruct2’ without using SHAPEREAD

Question

I would like to make 'geostruct2' data structure without using SHAPEREAD.

Answer 1

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2008a (R2008a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is no standard way to make 'geostruct2' data structure without using SHAPEREAD. As a workaround, one can create a 'geostruct2' data structure as in the following example:

S = struct('Geometry','Line','BoundingBox',[0 0;3 3],'X',[1 2 2 1 1],'Y',[1 1 2 2 1]);
figure,mapshow(S)

The above code makes a 'geostruct2' data structure S for a polygonal object.
