cometm (Mapping Toolbox)

Project two-dimensional comet plot on map axes

Syntax

cometm(lat,lon)
cometm(lat,lon,p)

Description

A comet plot is an animated graph in which a circle (the comet head) traces the data points on the screen. The comet body is a trailing segment that follows the head. The tail is a solid line that traces the entire function.

cometm(lat,lon) traces a comet plot through the points specified by the input latitude and longitude vectors.

cometm(lat,lon,p) specifies a comet body of length p*length(lat). The input p is 0.1 by default.

Examples

Create a comet plot of the coast lines data:

load coast
axesm miller
framem
cometm(lat,long,0.01)
