MATLAB: Where can I download the ESRI header files required for ‘globedem’ function

esriglobedemheaderMapping Toolbox

I am using the 'globedem' function to plot data for Southern California by specifying the argument 'e10g'. However, I am unable to find the necessary '.hdr' file that MATLAB prompts the me to point to.

Please let me know where I can obtain the ESRI header file and where it should be saved for MATLAB to identify it.

The ESRI header files can be obtained from the link below:

https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/topo/elev/esri/hdr/

The header file is required to read this data and the easiest location to save the file is in the same directory as the binary data file itself.

Further, the reference to a sub folder in the documentation uses the CD’s directory structure. A similar directory structure exists on the GLOBE website.

More information can be found in our documentation site:

MATLAB: Writing multiple Lat, lon points to KML File !

The syntax for kmlwrite is:

kmlwriteline(filename,latitude,longitude,altitude);

The fourth variable passed is considered as altitude data. In your case you can create an array with multiple lat and lon points and send that array to the function.

Try this:

lat_points = [lat1;lat2;lat3;lat4];
lon_points = [lon1;lon2;lon3;lon4];
kmlwriteline(filename,lat_points,lon_points);

Hope this helps.

MATLAB: How to move the ‘pathdef.m’ file from its default location to another location in MATLAB 8.1 (R2013a)

The ability to select an arbitrary location for the MATLAB path file 'pathdef.m' is not available in MATLAB 8.1 (R2013a). One possible workaround is detailed below.

By default, the 'pathdef.m' file may be located in either the '$MATLABROOT/toolbox/local' directory or the '$USERPATH' directory, where $MATLABROOT and $USERPATH are the directories displayed after entering the commands

matlabroot

and

userpath

at the MATLAB command line respectively.

The 'pathdef.m' file can be manually copied from either of these directories and placed in an arbitrary directory. To use the copied 'pathdef.m' file at initialization, create a MATLAB file titled 'startup.m' and place it in the '$USERPATH' directory. Copy the lines of code below to the file. If a 'startup.m' file already exists in '$USERPATH', add the lines of code to the end of the file:

% save starting directory
startdir = pwd ;
% specify arbitrary directory containing pathdef.m
pathdir = '<MODIFY>' ;
% change directory so that target 'pathdef.m' has highest precedence
% in the MATLAB search path
cd(pathdir)
% set the MATLAB search path using PATH
path(pathdef)
% change directory back to the starting directory
cd(startdir)

Make sure to modify the string marked "MODIFY" in the above code to the directory to which the 'pathdef.m' file was copied. The 'startup.m' script will be automatically executed upon MATLAB initialization.
