Description
linem, plotm and plot3m activate a Line Map Input dialog box that accepts input data to project a line object onto the current map axes.
If no map axes are current, a No Map Axes dialog box appears. Choose Yes to activate the Projection Control dialog box for defining map axes properties. Upon creation of the map axes, the Line Map Input dialog box appears.
Controls
The Latitude variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the latitude data of the line object to be projected.
The Longitude variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the longitude data of the line object to be projected.
The Altitude variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the altitude data of the line object to be projected. A scalar value can be entered to indicate the plane in which to display the object.
Pressing the List button produces a list of all current workspace variables, from which the latitude, longitude, and altitude variables can be selected.
The Other Properties edit box is used to specify additional properties of the line object to be projected, such as 'LineWidth',2. String entries must be enclosed in quotes. Linespec strings, such as 'b:', are also valid.
Pressing the Apply button accepts the input data and projects the line object onto the current map axes.
Pressing the Cancel button disregards any input data and closes the Line Map Input dialog box.
