index exceeds matrix dimensions with axesm

I am trying to plot a map of the us using the command:

axesm('eqaconicstd', 'MapLatLimit', [23 52], 'MapLonLimit', [-127 -65])

But I get this error:

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

I also get the error using the lambert projection and don't understand why. I don't want to use mercator I'm looking for equal area and should be able to use it on a region. At least I can in ARCgis.

Thanks,

Katrina

I guess that you have redefined "axesm" as a variable. Check this by:

which axesm -all

Please note that guessing would not be required, if you post the complete error message.

Alas, " Index exceeds matrix dimensions" was all the error message I got. If there had been more it would have been in the paste.

I get a filepath for "which axes" but found a work-around using setm after axesm.
