Syntax

lonWrapped = wrapTo180(lon)

Description

lonWrapped = wrapTo180(lon) wraps angles in lon, in degrees, to the interval [–180, 180] such that 180 maps to 180 and –180 maps to –180. In general, odd, positive multiples of 180 map to 180 and odd, negative multiples of 180 map to –180.

Specify a short list of longitudes to wrap.

lon = [-400 -190 -180 -175 175 180 190 380];

Wrap the longitudes to the range [-180, 180] degrees.

lonWrapped = wrapTo180(lon)
lonWrapped = 1×8

   -40   170  -180  -175   175   180  -170    20

Specify a second list of longitudes that are sampled over a large range of angles. Wrap the longitudes.

lon2 = -720:720;
lon2Wrapped = wrapTo180(lon2);

Plot the wrapped longitudes. The wrapped longitudes stay in the range [-180, 180] degrees.

plot(lon2,lon2Wrapped)
xlabel("Longitude (degrees)")
ylabel("Wrapped Longitude (degrees)")
grid on

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel Longitude (degrees), ylabel Wrapped Longitude (degrees) contains an object of type line.
