How to plot polygon from shapefile in Matlab

Hi all,

I have the following polygon, which should represent the borders of Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxemburg.

I am however not able to plot these using Matlab on top of an imagesc. Can anyone help me? The file is in attachment.

T=shaperead('BENELUX_POLYGON.shp','usegeo', true);

Thanks already

Hi Yoni ,

shaperead only Read vector features and attributes from shapefile, it won't plot those data.

To plot those shapefile you need to use mapshow. I tried this on my end :

 T=shaperead('BENELUX_POLYGON.shp','usegeo', true);
mapshow(T)

and I got the following result :

As of R2021b, you can read the shapefile with readgeotable and plot the data with geoshow:

T = readgeotable('BENELUX_POLYGON.shp'); 
geoshow(T) 

In addition, you can plot the image data as a raster object using geoshow, provided you have a raster reference object.
