spzerom

Create a sparse data grid of zeros

Syntax

map = spzerom(latlim,lonlim,scale) returns a sparse regular data grid consisting entirely of zeros. The two-element vectors latlim and lonlim define the latitude and longitude limits of the geographic region. They should be of the form [south north] and [west east], respectively. The number of rows and columns per angle unit is set by the scalar scale.

[map,refvec] = spzerom(latlim,lonlim,scale) returns the three-element referencing vector for the returned map.

Examples

• [map,refvec] = spzerom([46,51],[-79,-75],1)
  map =
     All zero sparse: 5-by-4
  refvec =
       1    51   -79
