What is the Axesm function in Matlab?

axesm( Name,Value ) creates an axesm -based map and modifies the appearance using name-value pairs to set properties . You can specify multiple name-value pairs. Enclose each property name in quotes. For example, 'FontSize',14 sets the font size for the map text.

How to add axes to figure in MATLAB?

axes( parent , Name,Value ) creates the axes in the figure, panel, or tab specified by parent , instead of in the current figure. ax = axes(___) returns the Axes object created. Use ax to query and modify properties of the Axes object after it is created. For a list of properties, see Axes Properties.

How to change the axes in MATLAB?

You can change the x- or y-axis units by right-clicking the mouse on the axis label or by right-clicking on the plot and selecting Analysis Parameters .

What is the function of the Toolstrip or menu in MATLAB?

The Toolstrip organizes MATLAB functionality in a series of tabs . Tabs are divided into sections that contain a series of related controls.

What is map function in MATLAB?

A map function basically takes the elements of the array and applies a function to each element . The resultant output is of the same shape as the array, but the values are the result of the function.

What is the function of the Axis command in MATLAB?

axis equal sets the aspect ratio so that the data units are the same in every direction . The aspect ratio of the x-, y-, and z-axis is adjusted automatically according to the range of data units in the x, y, and z directions.

What is the axis style in MATLAB?

axis style uses a predefined style to set the limits and scaling . For example, specify the style as equal to use equal data unit lengths along each axis. axis mode sets whether MATLAB ® automatically chooses the limits or not. Specify the mode as manual , auto , or one of the semiautomatic options, such as 'auto x' .

What is the Loglog function in MATLAB?

loglog( X , Y ) plots x- and y-coordinates using a base-10 logarithmic scale on the x-axis and the y-axis . To plot a set of coordinates connected by line segments, specify X and Y as vectors of the same length. To plot multiple sets of coordinates on the same set of axes, specify at least one of X or Y as a matrix.

What is the axes hold property in MATLAB?

hold( state ) sets the axes hold state by specifying a state value . You can specify state as "on" , "off" , a logical value, or an OnOffSwitchState value. hold( ax ,___) sets the hold state for the axes specified by ax instead of the current axes. Specify ax before all other arguments.

Activation

Command Line
`maptool(PropertyName,PropertyValue)` `maptool(ProjectionFile,...)` `h = maptool(...)`

Command Line

maptool(PropertyName,PropertyValue)

maptool(ProjectionFile,...)

h = maptool(...)

Description

maptool adds several items to the menu in the current figure window with an axesm-based map and opens the Projection Control dialog box for defining map projection and display properties. The figure window features a special menu bar that provides access to most of Mapping Toolbox™ capabilities.

maptool(PropertyName,PropertyValue,...) creates a figure window with an axesm-based map defined by the supplied map properties. The MapProjection property must be the first input pair. maptool supports the same map properties as axesm.

maptool(ProjectionFile,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...) allows for the omission of the MapProjection property name. ProjectionFile must be the identifier of an available map projection.

h = maptool(...) returns a two-element vector containing the handle of the maptool figure window and the handle of the axesm-based map.

Controls

Map Menu

The Lines option activates the Line Map Input dialog box for projecting two- and three-dimensional line objects onto the axesm-based map.

The Patches option activates the Patch Map Input dialog box for projecting patch objects onto the axesm-based map.

The Regular Surfaces option activates the Mesh Map Input dialog box for projecting a regular data grid onto a graticule projected onto the axesm-based map.

The General Surfaces option activates the Surface Map Input dialog box for projecting a geolocated data grid onto the axesm-based map.

The Contours option activates the Contour Map Input dialog box for projecting a two- or three-dimensional contour plot onto the axesm-based map.

The Quiver 2D option activates the Quiver Map Input dialog box for projecting a two-dimensional quiver plot onto the axesm-based map.

Display Menu

The Projection option activates the Projection Control dialog box for editing map projection properties and map display settings.

The Graticule option is used to view and edit the graticule size for surface maps.

The Legend option is used to display a contour map legend.

The Frame option is used to toggle the map frame on and off.

The Grid option is used to toggle the map grid on and off.

The Meridian Labels option is used to toggle the meridian grid labels
on and off.

The Parallel Labels option is used to toggle the parallel grid labels on and off.

The Tracks option activates the Define Tracks input box for calculating and displaying Great Circle and Rhumb Line tracks on the axesm-based map.

The Small Circles option activates the Define Small Circles input box for calculating and displaying small circles on the axesm-based map.

The Surface Distances option activates the Surface Distance dialog box for distance, azimuth, and reckoning calculations.

Tools Menu

The Hide option is used to hide the mouse tool buttons.

The Off option is used to turn off the current mouse tool.

The Set Limits option is used to define the zoom out limits to the current settings on the axes.

The Full View option is used to zoom out to the current axes limit settings.

The Origin option is used to toggle Origin mode on and off. Origin mode is used to interactively modify the map origin.

The 2D View option is used to set the default two-dimensional view (azimuth=0, elevation=90).

The Edit option activates the Property Inspector to manipulate properties of a plotted object. Choose the Current Object option to edit the currently selected object or choose the Select Object option to open the Select Object dialog box and choose the object you want to edit.

The Show option is used to set the Visible property of mapped objects to 'on'. The All option shows all currently mapped objects. The Object option activates the Select Object dialog box.

The Hide option is used to set the Visible property of mapped objects to 'off'. Choose from the All or Map options, or choose the Object option to activate the Select Object dialog box.

The Delete option is used to clear the selected objects. The All option clears the current map, frame, and grid lines. The map definition is left in the axes definition. The Map option clears the current map, deleting objects plotted on the map but leaving the frame and grid lines displayed. The Object option activates the Select Object dialog box.

The Axes option is used to manipulate the MATLAB^® Cartesian axes. The Show option shows this axes, the Hide option hides this axes, and the Color option allows for custom color selection for this axes.

Colormaps Menu

The Colormaps menu allows for manipulation of the colormap for the current figure.
