Dear all,



I am trying to draw the Antarctic shoreline using the Matlab toolbox
m_map. To do that I downloaded the ghhs_f.b file from NOAA and used the
m_ghhs_f.m in the following way:



figure('inverthardcopy','off','color',[1 1 1],'papertype','a4');

orient portrait;

m_proj('mercator','lon',[-60 -37],'lat',[-66 -60]);

m_gshhs_f('patch',[0.8 0.8 0.8],'edgecolor',[0 0 0]);

m_grid;





Unfortunately I only get the Antarctic Islands plotted and no sign of
the Antarctic peninsula shoreline. Any ideas why I don't get it to work
?! It DOES work when I use the m_gshhs_i.m file to make the plot,.. but
then the shoreline comes in a very crude resolution at this scale.





Thanks much





Mauricio
