Hello everyone,
I need to do analysis on just rectangular part of my figure. Therefore, I tried to extract that area using inpolygon. My data is lat = 406x270 and lon = 406x270. I have plotted temperature which is 2030x1354.
Using the code below:
xv= [104.61, 102.98, 109.37, 109.52];
yv = [19.93, 25.03, 25.01, 19.98];
in = inpolygon(lon,lat,xv,yv);
figure
plot(xv,yv) % polygon
axis equal
hold on
plot(lon(in),lat(in),'r+') % points inside
plot(lon(~in),lat(~in),'bo') % points outside
hold off
I just can't figure out what is wrong in my code. Kindly tell me what's wrong here? Thank you.

Check your polygon coordinates. They are not up to the mark as shown in the first figure.
xv= [104.61, 102.98, 109.37, 109.52];
yv = [19.93, 25.03, 25.01, 19.98];
patch(xv,yv,'r')

Thank you for your reply.
But I have one question here about this statement 'Check your polygon coordinates' . Does this mean I have not selected the coordinates correctly?
