* * * The functions on this page are no longer being updated. They should still work as shown in the examples here, but I am only actively maintaining the versions of these functions which are in the Climate Data Toolbox for MATLAB, which can be found here https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/70338. * * *

This submission contains functions to plot the outlines and names of National borders and US states. Matlab's Mapping Toolbox is NOT required.

There are two functions for plotting: borders and bordersm, and they both work the same way, except that bordersm is for use with maps created using Matlab's Mapping Toolbox. Similarly, labelborders and labelbordersm place text labels within the boundaries of countries or states.
