Return dynamic property names of geographic or planar vector

Syntax

names = fieldnames(v)

Description

names = fieldnames(v) returns the names of the dynamic properties of geographic or planar vector v.

Examples

View Dynamic Properties of a Mapshape Vector

Create a mapshape vector.

ms = mapshape(shaperead('tsunamis.shp'));

Display all dynamic properties of the mapshape vector. The displayed properties exclude the Collection properties Geometry and Metadata and the required mapshape Vertex properties X and Y.
