I am using this matlab package http://www2.ocgy.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html#examples to project the latitudes,longitudes of my data to a specific projection.

For this particular case I am using albers equal-area. Now when I do the projection, I am using the following code 

m_proj('albers equal-area');
[x y] = m_ll2xy(longitude,latitudearray);

My question is when I specify the projection method, do I need to specify the geographical bounds. I mean do I need to pass the latitude, longitude bounds to the function m_proj

I have got the following results. I am not sure if these points are correct.

lat lon x y 24.590960444058823 -119.6310020520101 -0.0778982228028 -0.077898222802825

Can anyone provide some suggestions?

Questions about Matlab are best asked on a Matlab user site. There is a stackexchange site for questions about projections (gis.stackexchange.com) but I doubt anyone there uses Matlab for this kind of work. (I now see this question was cross-posted on GIS, anyway.) – whuber♦ Jul 23 '12 at 14:37
