How to remove horizontal lines as plotting 0-360 degree map

5 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I am using following codes to plot a 0-360 degree map, can anyone please help to show me how to remove the horizontal lines on the map created. Athough plot(X,Y,'.') does not show those lines, I wanted to plot the coastlines instead of points. Thanks in advance!
Coast=load('Coast.mat');
X=Coast.long;
Y=Coast.lat;
X(X<=0)=X(X<=0)+360;
plot(X,Y);

coastlon(abs(diff(coastlon))>180+1)=nan;

Hi! You are right, thank you!
The complete code:
load coastlines
coastlonWrapped = wrapTo360(coastlon);
index=abs(diff(coastlonWrapped))>180+1;
pos=find(index==1) %to be sure
pos = 9×1
371 4311 4420 4991 4994 4998 5076 8063 8077
coastlonWrapped(pos)=NaN;
plot(coastlonWrapped,coastlat)

Coast=load('Coast.mat');
X=Coast.long;
Y=Coast.lat;
% X(X<=0)=X(X<=0)+360;
X = X+180 ; Y = Y+180 ;
plot(X,Y);

180 is added to X and Y, lon and lat are also changed.

But the Western North Pacific is splitted into two parts by that way.

Make sure to clear the figure before plotting because the coast.mat does not have these lines.
