Mapping Toolbox: How to show MLabel and PLabel when using axesm with Origin, FLatLimit and FLonLimit?

The question tells it all... I've had this problem http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/319515-how-to-fit-axes-to-contourm-plot, which I've solved by changing the point of Origin of the axesm command(it centered the axes on the contourm plot). FLatLimit and FLonLimit did the trick i needed(fix the axes). But that's when it turned back at me. In my first attempt I had the Meridian and Parallel labels showing but not after using Flatlimit and FLonlimit.

I'm almost sure that these two properties are the culprit because I changed it back to MapLat and Lon and labels were showing(then the axes are wrong).

What do I do to have labels? I need my labels...

I'm posting below the two cases I'm talking about...

FIRST CASE Using MapLatLimit and MapLonLimit

min_lat = 31.5062;
max_lat = 50.2412;
min_lon = 10.4604;
max_lon = 42.0652;

figure(); title('Using map limit')
axesm('MapProjection','lambert',...
    'MapLatLimit',[min_lat max_lat],...
    'MapLonLimit',[min_lon max_lon],...
    'MeridianLabel','on',...
    'ParallelLabel','on',...
    'Grid','on',...
    'Frame','on')

load coastlines
plotm(coastlat,coastlon);

SECOND CASE Using Origin, FLatLimit and FLonLimit

min_lat = 31.5062;
max_lat = 50.2412;
min_lon = 10.4604;
max_lon = 42.0652;

[dist,az] = distance(min_lat,min_lon,max_lat,max_lon);
[originLat,originLon] = reckon(min_lat,min_lon,dist/2,az);
midAz = azimuth(originLat,originLon,max_lat,max_lon);   

lat_limit = [-8 7.8];
lon_limit = [5.2 -3.6];
figure(); title('Using F limit')
axesm('MapProjection','lambert',...
    'Origin',[originLat originLon az-midAz+0.3],...
    'FLatLimit',lat_limit,...
    'FLonLimit',[-dist/2 dist/2] + lon_limit,...
    'MeridianLabel','on',...
    'ParallelLabel','on',...
    'Grid','on',...
    'Frame','on')

load coastlines
plotm(coastlat,coastlon);

You can run both of them and see the difference. I'll attach the two figures.

Solved it. When using Origin, FLatLimit and FLonLimit the labels location are set by default at -180(Parallel) and 0(Meridian). I had to use gcm for the current figure to see "where" the labels where. Then by using setm(gca,'MLabelParallel') and setm(gca,'PLabelMeridian'), and with little experimentation, I found the two labels.

Hi George,

Could you please tell me how you did it? I have the exact same problem as you when using Origin.

Thank you.
