I need to plot a map with a landmask. I use the 'surfm' function:

clf
axesm('MapProjection','polycon',...
          'MapLatLimit',[-10 10],'MapLonLimit',[-10 10])
axis off
LAT=-10:.1:10;
LON=-10:.1:10;
Z=LAT'*LON;
surfm(LAT,LON,Z)
colormap jet
print('map','-djpeg')

The result is

Then apply a landmask

land_bit=ones(size(Z));
land_bit(LAT<0,:)=0;
surfm(LAT,LON,zeros(size(Z)),'FaceColor',[.6 .85 1],'FaceAlpha','flat',...
        'AlphaDataMapping','none','AlphaData',land_bit)
print('map','-djpeg')

The result is

But when I try to save it in vector format

print('map','-dmeta')

or

print('-painters','map','-dmeta')

I just have

Hi Aleksey,

I executed the code you provided in MATLAB R2020a as well as R2024a, and in both cases, I was able to get the correct output for the vector format, as shown below:

The issue you are facing may be due to an incomplete or incorrect MATLAB installation, particularly with components related to graphics. Verifying and repairing the MATLAB installation or upgrading to the latest version could help resolve this issue.

For further information on dealing with low-level graphics issues, you can refer to the following link:

Hope this helps.
