World map (high resolution, land areas)

thingiverse

This is a high resolution world map of land areas from one of Matlab's world map examples. I extracted the lines from this image into Inkscape, then made a vector graph, then extruded it. I deleted most of the small islands and unfortunately the continent of Antarctica as the line extraction gave too many breakpoints to yield a succesful extrusion. (It should be the Robinson projection.) Here's the lazy code I wrote to extract land pieces. I = geoshow('landareas.shp'); X = []; Y = []; for k = 1 : numel(I.Children) disp(k) x = get(I.Children(k), 'XData'); y = get(I.Children(k), 'YData'); X = [X; nan; x]; Y = [Y; nan; y]; end X(1) = []; Y(1) = []; %% close all worldmap world plotm(Y, X) More about maps in Matlab: https://www.mathworks.com/help/map/create-a-world-map.html
