I made plots of depth slices using function slice, with each slice showing earth's velocity distribution. I am having a hard time overlaying the location map (coastline) on the figure. Does anyone know if this is possible with MatLab? OR Can you overlay any x,y(and z) plot on slice image?

  • Welcome to Stackoverflow. Post some of the code snippets you have tried yet. – Nagama Inamdar Feb 10 '15 at 09:18
  • Can you post some examples. Its extremely difficul to understand what you mean. – Ander Biguri Feb 10 '15 at 09:18
  • slice3d is not a Matlab function, isn't it? – NoDataDumpNoContribution Feb 10 '15 at 12:13
  • @ Trilarion: Sorry, I meant the slice function (not slice3d) – QP1 Feb 10 '15 at 19:34

  • I could not overlay the location map (coastline) and some x-y plot on the slice figure. Hold on and off does not seem to work for me. Any help please? – QP1 Feb 10 '15 at 20:38

Thanks all! I figured it out. Had to import coastline data from some online database and used hold on/off to overlay, with plot3. My original plan of using the mapping tools on MatLab didn't work.
