Plot data in the surface of a sphere

Hello everybody

I have a matrix of data collected when measuring in different angles theta, phi. This matrix is 100 x 100 where each line gives a different value of theta and each column a different value for phi. I want to plot this data as a density plot over the surface of a sphere. So long I know how to do this for a given function but not for my data.

My best try, (to be honest I saw this code in a document) :

res = 100;
lambda = linspace(-pi,pi,res);
theta = linspace(-pi/2,pi/2,ceil(res/2));
[L,T] = meshgrid(lambda,theta);
f=sphHarm(8,0,L,T)+sphHarm(8,7,L,T);
[X,Y,Z] = sph2cart(L,T,1);
clf;
surf(X,Y,Z,f);
colorbar; shading interp; daspect([1 1 1]); axis tight; view([70 25]);
title('3D Plot of f on the sphere')

This code does what I want but instead of represent a function f I want to plot my collection of data:

A = importdata(filename)

which contains the information about the values for phi and theta in files and columns as told.

Can someone help me to represent also this?

Many thanks in advance!

is A a mxn matrix?
