Is it possible to clip shapefiles in MATLAB?

Is there a way to clip a shapefile using polygons or other shapefiles in MATLAB like in GIS?

I understand you are trying to clip your shapefile with the help of a polygon in MATLAB.

A function that will help you move forward in doing so is the 'inpolygon' function. It helps locate points that are inside or on the edge of the polygon area. You can read more about the function at:

You can also have a look at this MATLAB Answer which discusses a similar query:
