contourfm - Project filled 2-D contour plot of map data

Description

The contourfm function is the same as the contourm function except that the areas between contours are filled with colors. For each contour interval, contourfm selects a distinct color from the figure's colormap. You can obtain the same result by setting 'Fill','on' and 'LineColor','black' when calling contourm.

Examples

Plot the Earth's geoid with filled contours. The data is in meters.

figure
axesm eckert4; framem; gridm; axis off; tightmap

load geoid
contourfm(geoid, geoidrefvec, -120:20:100, 'LineStyle', 'none');

coast = load('coast');
geoshow(coast.lat, coast.long, 'Color', 'black')
