Program: MKMAKEMAP
mkmakemap....... main map plotting routine
call: map=mkmakemap(mapopt);
mapopt: map options structure as returned by MKMAPOPT
With no input parameters:
shaded relief map of Mars Topography
longitude east positive
center meridian 0
latitude -90...90
longitude -180...180
projection: plate caree
(these are not really the projection settings, this
is just a short description of what you get)
The no parameter mode is a historical artefact and is kept here
to be compatible with many of my older mars related programs.
result: map: structure containing map description and handles to
generated map objects
map.figure: figure, in which map is drawn (gcf)
map.axes: axes in which map is drawn (gca)
map.surf: handle to surface or patch object,
containing the topography
If mapopt.proj_pole specifies a rotation,
trisurf is used to plot the topography as a
number of patches instead of a surface.
NOTE that you cannot add a texture map to a
patch to define color!!
map.grid: handle to line object, containing the grid
map.frame: handle to the object that contains the map frame
map.bar: handles to objects of 3D colorbar
map.exag: vertical exaggeration of topography
map.minz: minimum topographic height [m]
map.maxz: maximum topographic height [m]
map.lon: longitude matrix to plot surface [deg]
map.lat: latitude matrix to plot surface [deg]
When no input arguments are specified, only the fields
figure, axes, aurf, exag, minz, maxz, lon, lat are returned.

BUGS: can currently not plot anything but the default...
