imagem (Mapping Toolbox)

Display regular matrix map as an image

Syntax

h = imagem(map,maplegend)
h = imagem(map,maplegend,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...)

Description

This command displays regular matrix maps as images and displays latitude and longitude axes. Because it is a matrix image, the resulting projection is equirectangular (Platte Carre in particular) and hence is not necessarily ideal as a final product. However, imagem is useful for quickly viewing matrix maps for content.

Note that imagem uses standard MATLAB axes, not map axes.

h = imagem(map,maplegend) displays the regular matrix map, map, as an image, as well as latitude and longitude scales. The map legend vector maplegend is also required. The object handle h can be returned.

h = imagem(map,maplegend,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...) allows the specification of property/value pairs to control the image object properties. Any property supported by the standard MATLAB command image except XData and YData can be altered. For a complete description of image properties, see image in the online MATLAB Function Reference.
