Follows an incomplete list of stuff missing in the mapping package to be matlab compatible. Bugs are not listed here, [https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=search&group=octave search] and [https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=octave report] them on the bug tracker instead.

As a number of polygon functions in the mapping package relate to geometry stuff, chances are that some of that lacking functionality is already present in the [http://wiki.octave.org/Geometry_package geometry package]. In fact there is a discussion about which functions belong where. Matlab compatibility suggests the mapping package, but based on similar functionality the geometry package is probably a better home.

Anyway the mapping package has the geometry package as a required dependency.


Recent mapping toolbox versions are classdef-based. It is unclear yet if we need to follow this route as classdef support in Octave is still experimental and has no file I/O.

{{Note|this entire section is about upcoming version (expected May 2020) 1.4.1. If a Matlab function is missing from the list and does not appear on the current release of the package, confirm that is also missing in the [http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/mapping/file sources], see esp. the INDEX file, before adding it.}}
