lightm (Mapping Toolbox)

Project light objects on the current map axes

Syntax

h = lightm(lat,lon)
h = lightm(lat,lon,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...)
 
h = lightm(lat,lon,alt)
h = lightm(lat,lon,alt,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...)

Description

h = lightm(lat,lon) projects a light object at the coordinates lat and lon. The handle, h, of the object can be returned.

h = lightm(lat,lon,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...) allows the specification of any property/value pair supported by the standard MATLAB light command.

h = lightm(lat,lon,alt) allows the specification of an altitude, alt, for the light object. When omitted, the default is an infinite light source altitude.

Examples
