Why can I not create a vector using this loop?

   for i = 1:length(counties)
       x(i).min = min(counties(i).Lon);
       x(i).max = max(counties(i).Lon);
       y(i).min = min(counties(i).Lat);
       y(i).max = max(counties(i).Lat);

       vector(i).x = x(i).min:x(i).max;
       vector(i).y = y(i).min:y(i).max;
   end

Here is what I get:

The x.min, y.min, x.max and y.max all come out fine.

What's wrong with the result as you've shown it? What did you expect instead?

Isn't min(counties(i).Lon) the same as counties(i).Lon??? You are taking the min of only a single value. Or is the Lon field actually an array of several numbers?

What is counties(20).Lon, counties(20).Lat, and same for elements 1 and 24? They appear to be 2 element arrays, unlike the other elements. Why?
