    Description

    Add-On Required: This feature requires the 3D Scenarios add-on.

    [lat,lon,ht] = pickpoints(v,numpoints) enables you to interactively identify the coordinates of numpoints points within the specified viewer. To select a point, move your cursor to the desired location and press the left mouse button. To stop before all numpoints points are selected, press the Enter or Escape key. The function returns automatically after you pick the specified number of points.

    [lat,lon,ht] = pickpoints(v) enables you to identify an unlimited number of points until you press the Enter or Escape key.
