clabelm - Add contour labels to map contour display

Syntax

Description

clabelm(c,h) adds value labels to the current map contour plot. The labels are rotated and inserted within the contour lines.

clabelm(c,h,v) labels only the contour levels given in vector v. (The default action is to label all known contours.) The label positions are selected randomly.

clabelm(c,h,'manual') places contour labels at the locations you select by clicking the mouse. Press the return key while the cursor is within the figure window to terminate labeling. If no mouse is available, use the space bar to enter contours and the arrow keys to move the crosshair.

clabelm(c), clabelm(c,v), or clabelm(c,'manual') uses a different method to indicate the correspondence between labels and contour lines. Use these syntaxes to display an upright label with a plus sign to indicate the relevant contour line.

clabelm(...,Name,Value) specifies parameters and corresponding values that control various aspects of the clabelm function. Parameter names can be abbreviated, and case does not matter.

h = clabelm(...) returns handles to the text objects created.

Input Arguments

c	Contour matrix returned by contourm, contourfm, or contour3m
h	Object handle returned by contourm, contourfm, or contour3m
v	Vector
'manual'	String specifying manual placement of contour labels

Name-Value Pair Arguments

'LabelSpacing'

Specifies the spacing between labels on the same contour line, in units of points. (72 points equal one inch.)

Output Arguments

h	Handle to the text and objects

Examples

load geoid
axesm miller
framem
tightmap
[c,h] = contourm(geoid,geoidlegend,-100:50:80);
clabelm(c,h)
