getm

Get map object properties

Syntax

• mat = getm(h)
  mat = getm(h,MapPropertyName)
  getm('MapProjection')
  getm('axes')
  getm('units')
  

Description

mat = getm(h) returns the map structure of the map axes specified by its handle. If the handle of a child of the map axes is specified, only its properties are returned.

mat = getm(h,MapPropertyName) returns the specified property value.

getm('MapProjection') lists all available projections.

getm('axes') lists the map axes properties by property name.

getm('units') lists the available units.

Examples

Create a default map axes, and query a property value:

• axesm('mercator','AngleUnits','degrees')
  getm(gca,'MapParallels')
  ans =
