PATCHCONTOURF Generate filled contours using patches, with specified colors. Frequently one wishes to make a filled contour plot of one field over another with two different colormap schemes. This is not currently possible with CONTOURF because Matlab uses one colormap per axes. For example, one may wish to plot sea surface temperature filled in color with the continents filled in black. PATCHCONTOURS gets around this problem by geneating filled contours plots as patch objects, with out reference to the current colormap. Colors of filled contours may be specified explicitly. PATCHCONTOURF(Z,V) makes a filled contour plot of field Z at value V. The interiors of the contour are colored black by default. PATCHCONTOURF(Z,V,C) alternately uses color C as both the fill color and the edge color. C may be either a string, as in 'g' for green, or a color array of length 3, such as [1/2 1/2 1/2] for gray. PATCHCONTOURF(X,Y,Z,V) and PATCHCONTOURF(X,Y,Z,V,C) use vectors X and Y to specify the contour locations. X has length SIZE(X,2) while Y has length SIZE(X,1). H=PATCHCONTOURF(...) returns a handle to the patch object. PATCHCONTOURF(...,'m_map') alternately works with R. Pawlowicz's M_MAP mapping package, available at http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html. 'patchcontourf --f' generates a sample figure. Usage: patchcontourf(z,v); patchcontourf(z,v,c); patchcontourf(x,y,z,v,c); h=patchcontourf(x,y,z,v,c); __________________________________________________________________ This is part of JLAB --- type 'help jlab' for more information (C) 2015 J.M.
