Project a general matrix map onto the current map axes

MapGeneral Surfaces

Description

pcolorm, surfacem, and surfm activate a Surface Map Input dialog box for projecting general surfaces 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 Surface Map Input dialog box appears.

Controls

The Latitude variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the latitude data of the surface to be projected.

The Longitude variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the longitude data of the surface to be projected.

The Map variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the matrix map.

The Altitude variable edit box is used to specify the workspace variable containing the altitude data of the surface 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, map, and altitude variables can be selected.

The Other Properties edit box is used to specify additional properties of the surface object to be projected, such as 'EdgeColor',[1 1 0]. String entries must be enclosed in single quotes.

Pressing the Apply button accepts the input data and projects the surface object onto the current map axes.

Pressing the Cancel button disregards any input data and closes the Surface Map Input dialog box.
