cometm

Project 2-D comet plot on map axes

cometm will be removed in a future release. Use projfwd and comet instead. For more information, see Compatibility Considerations.

Syntax

cometm(lat,lon)
cometm(lat,lon,p)


Description

cometm(lat,lon) traces a comet plot through the points specified by the input latitude and longitude vectors.

cometm(lat,lon,p) specifies a comet body of length p*length(lat). The input p is 0.1 by default.

A comet plot is an animated graph in which a circle (the comet head) traces the data points on the screen. The comet body is a trailing segment that follows the head. The tail is a solid line that traces the entire function.

Examples

Create a comet plot of the coastlines data:

load coastlines
axesm miller
framem
cometm(coastlat,coastlon,0.01)

Compatibility Considerations

cometm will be removed

Not recommended starting in R2013b

cometm will be removed in a future release. Use projfwd and comet instead. You can update your code using these replacement patterns.

Will Be Removed	Recommended
cometm(lat,lon)	mstruct = gcm; [x,y] = projfwd(mstruct,lat,lon); comet(x,y)
cometm(lat,lon,p)	mstruct = gcm; [x,y] = projfwd(mstruct,lat,lon); comet(x,y,p)
