MATLAB: Mapshow with specific color

Question

Hi,

I have a shapefile of the world map and a shapefile of the distribution of a bird. I want to superimpose the distribution map on the world map. However, the colors of both the maps are the same. How do I change the color so that one stands out over the other?

My code is:

W=shaperead('worldmap.shp');
S=shaperead('birddistribution.shp');
figure(1)
hold on
mapshow(W)
mapshow(S)

So both the plots are of the same color as default in Matlab. mapshow(S, 'Color, 'black') returns an error

Error using set
Invalid property found.
Object Name :  patch
Property Name :  'Color'.

geoshow() also ends up using mapshow with the same error. How do I do this??

Answer 1

mapshow(S, 'FaceColor, 'black')
