1 Features
  • 3D WGS84 ellipsoid
  • Rotation of earth, selectable speed
  • Relief with exaggerated elevations
  • Data tip in geographic coordinates and elevations in meter
  • Example to plot on earth
  • Example to plot on texture
2 Method
Out of geographic coordinates in one degree steps a geocentric x, y, z mesh grid is created by sin and cos functions. This mesh grid is placed to form a WGS84 ellipsoid. The texture within the meshes is overlaid by Matlab’s surface function.
3 Syntax
plot3Dearth % default texture, flat relief
plot3Dearth(0,50) % default texture, elevations exaggerated by factor 50
plot3Dearth('land_ocean_ice_8192.png', 100) % Texture out of folder 'texture', elevations exaggerated by factor 100
plot3Dearth('c:/myFolder/myTexture.jpg') % Texture out of other folder, flat relief
