setm

Set properties of map axes and graphics objects

Syntax

setm(h,MapAxesPropertyName,PropertyValue,...)

setm(texthndl,'MapPosition',position)

setm(surfhndl,'Graticule',lat,lon,alt)

setm(surfhndl,'MeshGrat',npts,alt)

Description

setm(h,MapAxesPropertyName,PropertyValue,...), where

h is a valid map axes handle, sets the map axes properties

specified in the input list. The map axes properties must be recognized by

axesm.

setm(texthndl,'MapPosition',position) alters

the position of the projected text object specified by its handle

to the [latitude longitude] or the [latitude

longitude altitude] specified by the position vector.

setm(surfhndl,'Graticule',lat,lon,alt) alters

the graticule of the projected surface object specified by its handle.

The graticule is specified by the latitude and longitude matrices,

specifying locations of the graticule vertices. The altitude can be

specified by a scalar, or by a matrix providing a value for each vertex.

setm(surfhndl,'MeshGrat',npts,alt) alters

the mesh graticule of projected surface objects displayed using the meshm function.

In this case, the two-element vector npts specifies

the graticule size in the manner described under meshm.

The altitude can be a scalar or a matrix with a size corresponding

to npts.

Examples

Display a map axes and alter it:

axesm('bonne','Frame','on','Grid','on')

The standard Bonne projection has a standard parallel at 30ºN.

Setting this standard parallel to 0º results in a Sinusoidal

projection:

setm(gca,'MapParallels',0)
