* Implement support for projections. I (current mapping pkg maintainer) have little need nor much experience with this subject => help welcome! BTW there's an OF proj package that offers some of the functionality. | * Implement support for projections and coordinate transformations.

Follows an incomplete list of stuff missing in the mapping package to be matlab compatible.

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 | 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 was 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. | Recent matlab mapping toolbox versions are classdef-based.

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.}} | ||
