How do I recenter world map so that North America is at the center instead of Africa?

When I do the following it plots the world map with Africa at the center because it is 0 longitude. Is it possible to recenter the map at North America?

worldmap('World') load coast plotm(lat, long);

A simple solution is to use the worldmap syntax that specifies latitude and longitude limits. When you call worldmap('world'), you end up with longitude limits of [-180 180]. The following will be closer to what you're looking for. You can change the limits to get the exact center point you want.

worldmap([-90 90], [-270 90])
