title: How to change longitude label locations in matlab worldmap
body: <p>I am trying to generate some contour plots using data in netCDF format in Matlab. I've managed to load in the data and retrieve latitude, longitude information, but got bit stuck in making the plot looks right. The thing I want to change is the locations of the longitude labels. Now they are labelled along the equator (see Fig below), making them difficult to read. I want to move them to the bottom of the plot. Please give me some clue how to control this.</p>

  <p>Here is the block of code that I am developing that creates the plot:</p>
  
  <pre><code>latax=-89:1:89;
  lonax=0:1:360;
  
  figure
  axesm('braun','MLabelParallel',-60);
  worldmap([latax(1),latax(end)],[lonax(1),lonax(end)]);
  hold on;
  load coast;
  plotm(lat,long,'k-');    
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <code>latax</code> and <code>lonax</code> are the latitude and longitude vectors, respectively. I thought the line <code>axesm('braun','MLabelParallel',-60);</code> sets the latitudinal location for the longitude labels but it didn't seem to make any difference.</p>
