Calculate Bounds of Shape in Geographic Coordinates
Calculate the bounds of shapes in geographic coordinates. When you pass geographic shapes to the bounds
function, the function calculates latitude and longitude limits.
Read a shapefile of US states into the workspace as a geospatial table. The table represents the states using polygon shapes in geographic coordinates. Extract the polygon shapes.
states = readgeotable("usastatehi.shp");
geoshp = states.Shape
geoshp=51×1 geopolyshape array with properties:
NumRegions: [51x1 double]
NumHoles: [51x1 double]
Geometry: "polygon"
CoordinateSystemType: "geographic"
GeographicCRS: [1x1 geocrs]
⋮
Find the bounds of each polygon shape. By default, the function returns a set of latitude and longitude limits for each shape object.
[latlim,lonlim] = bounds(geoshp);
Store the latitude and longitude limits in the geospatial table by creating new table variables.
states.LatitudeLimits = latlim; states.LongitudeLimits = lonlim;
View the first eight rows of the table. Note that each shape object has a corresponding set of latitude and longitude limits.

Calculate Bounds of Shape in Planar Coordinates
Calculate the bounds of shapes in planar coordinates. When you pass planar shapes to the bounds
function, the function calculates xy-limits.
Read hydrography data for an area in Concord, MA as a geospatial table. The table represents the states using polygon shapes in planar coordinates. Extract the polygon shapes.
hydro = readgeotable("concord_hydro_area.shp");
mapshp = hydro.Shape
mapshp=98×1 mappolyshape array with properties:
NumRegions: [98x1 double]
NumHoles: [98x1 double]
Geometry: "polygon"
CoordinateSystemType: "planar"
ProjectedCRS: [1x1 projcrs]
⋮
Find the bounds of each polygon shape. By default, the function returns a set of xy-limits for each shape object.
[xlimits,ylimits] = bounds(mapshp);
Store the xy-limits in the geospatial table by creating new table variables.
hydro.XLimits = xlimits; hydro.YLimits = ylimits;
View the first eight rows of the table. Note that each shape object has a corresponding set of xy-limits.

Calculate Bounds Over All Shapes
By default, when you pass multiple shapes to the bounds
function, the function calculates a set of bounds for each shape object. Calculate the bounds over all the shapes by using the "all"
option.
Read a shapefile containing the coordinates of locations in Boston as a geospatial table. The table represents the locations using point shapes in geographic coordinates. Extract the point shapes.
places = readgeotable("boston_placenames.gpx");
geoshp = places.Shape
geoshp = 13x1 geopointshape array with properties: NumPoints: [13x1 double] Latitude: [13x1 double] Longitude: [13x1 double] Geometry: "point" CoordinateSystemType: "geographic" GeographicCRS: [1x1 geocrs]
Find the bounds over all the point shapes.
[latlim,lonlim] = bounds(geoshp,"all")
latlim = 1×2
