joining coordinates

I have two sets of coordinates

lat1 is 144.9216
lat2 is 151.0393
long1 is -37.7784
long2 is -33.8131

These are the coordinates for Melbourne and Sydney. I want these two sets of points to be connected using a line but am having a lot of trouble.

Here is what i came up with

worldmap('Australia')
plotm([lat1,long2],[lat1,long2],'.')

Does anyo开发者_运维百科ne have any ideas?

when using

plotm([lat1,long2],[lat1,long2],'.')

you are specifying that you want a dot, simply use

plotm([lat1,long1],[lat2,long2])

and it will plot a line.
