Import a Google Earth .kml file of points, lines, polygons, or a combination, as a Matlab struct, compatible with the Mapping Toolbox features, and with shapefiles imported with shaperead().
Structs are composed of the following fields:
- Geometry
- Name
- Description
- Lon
- Lat
- BoundingBox
Mapping Toolbox polygons require a clockwise convention to specify between negative and positive areas. These are not specified in .kml files, so all polygons are converted to clockwise orientation to guarantee that they represent positive space.
Also identifies basic fields specified by the schema and populates them in the structure. This feature may take some customization to your schema.
