Display a line from the surface of Gross Reservoir to a point above South Boulder Peak using custom terrain.

First, add terrain for an area around South Boulder Peak by calling addCustomTerrain and specifying a DTED file. The DTED file is from the SRTM Void Filled data set, available from the US Geological Survey. Name the terrain "southboulderpeak".

addCustomTerrain("southboulderpeak","n39_w106_3arc_v2.dt1")

Create a geographic globe. Specify the terrain by name, using the "Terrain" argument of the geoglobe function. Then, plot the line. Tilt the view by holding Ctrl and dragging.

uif = uifigure;
g = geoglobe(uif,"Terrain","southboulderpeak");

lat = [39.95384 39.95];
lon = [-105.29916 -105.3608];
hTerrain = [10 0];
geoplot3(g,lat,lon,hTerrain,"y","HeightReference","Terrain","LineWidth",3)

A 3-D line plotted from the surface of a reservoir to a point above a peak.

Close the geographic globe and remove the custom terrain.

close(uif)
removeCustomTerrain("southboulderpeak")
