globe
Graticule
This map display is not a true map projection. It is constructed
by calculating a three-dimensional frame and displaying the map objects
on the surface of this frame.
Features
In the three-dimensional sense, globe is true in scale, equal-area,
conformal, minimum error, and equidistant everywhere. When displayed,
however, it looks like an Orthographic azimuthal projection, provided
that the MATLAB axes Projection property
is set to 'orthographic'.
Parallels
The globe requires no standard parallels.
Remarks
This is the only three-dimensional representation provided for
display. Unless some other display purpose requires three dimensions,
the Orthographic projection's display is equivalent.
Example
% Set up axes
axesm ('globe','Grid', 'on');
view(60,60)
axis off
% Display a surface
load geoid
meshm(geoid, geoidrefvec)
% Display coastline vectors
load coast
