dms2dm

Round from dms format to dm format

Syntax

anglout = dms2dm(anglin)

Description

anglout = dms2deg(anglin) rounds angles input in degrees-minutes-seconds (dms) format to the appropriate value in degrees-minutes (dm) format. This special handling is needed because there are 60, and not 100, seconds in a minute.

Example

Round 4°45'29" and 4°45'31" to dm format:

dms2dm(445.29)
ans =
        445.00

dms2dm(445.31)
ans =
        446.00
