camupm

Set camera up vector for axesm-based map using geographic coordinates

Syntax

camupm(lat,long)
[x,y,z] = camupm(lat,long)

Description

camupm(lat,long) sets the axes CameraUpVector property of the current axesm-based map to the position specified in geographic coordinates. The inputs lat and long are assumed to be in the angle units of the current axesm-based map.

[x,y,z] = camupm(lat,long) returns the camera position in the projected Cartesian coordinate system.

Examples

Look at northern Australia from a point south of and one Earth radius above New Zealand. Set CameraUpVector to the antipode of the camera target for that down under view.
