This document discusses how MATLAB can be used for geospatial data analysis and visualization. It describes how MATLAB supports various vector and raster data formats and functions for reading, displaying, and writing geospatial data. Methods for manipulating and visualizing vector data like points, lines, and polygons are covered as well as functions for reading and writing raster data. The document also outlines techniques for visualizing the distribution of geospatial data using 1D and 2D plots.
