general_map(object,bathymetry_dir,ptype)
general_map(object)
plots coordinate locations (object.lon
and object.lat
); where object
is a struct created by any of the _build
functions in ocean_data_tools (e.g. argo
, cruise
, hycom
, mercator
, woa
, wod
).
general_map(object,bathymetry_dir)
adds bathymetry contours from Smith & Sandwell Global Topography with path bathymetry_dir
.
general_map(object,bathymetry_dir,ptype)
allows the user to modify plot type from the default contours e.g. ptype = '2Dscatter'
or '2Dcontour'
bathymetry_dir
is the character array path to the Smith & Sandwell Global Topography file "topo_20.1.nc"
