m_coord.m

A mapping package for Matlab:这是一款功能十分强大的地理绘图工具包

function coordsys=m_coord(coordsys);
% M_COORD Initializes the coordinate system for varous conversions.
%
%   M_COORD('set') tells you the current coordinate system
%   M_COORD('get') gives you the current possibilities
%   M_COORD(SYSTEM) sets the coordinate system to SYSTEM.
%
%   Currently the available coordinate systems are:
%              'geographic' (usual lat/long)
%              'geomagnetic' (referenced to magnetic poles)
