How to plot polygons

Please find attached the excel sheet that contains the long, lat and the statistically significant values in trends. I am able to plot these points where i have values in sgt file, but i want to plot it as a polygon. Any suggestions on how to plot the polygons wherever i have the data values.

Answer 1

[Sean de Wolski]

Look at geoshow and patchm.

I tried this, but it does not work

for ii = 1:361;
    for jj= 1:361
        if ~isnan(sgt(ii,jj));
            h = patchm(lat,long,sgt,'b')
            else
        end
    end
end

What are we looking at in that file? There is no header on it, and there are 361 rows by 256 columns, so it is not a matter of having a lat column, a long column, and a small number of columns of data corresponding to each location. Examination shows that none of the columns greatly differ from the others, so none of the columns correspond to latitude or longitude.

You also do not describe the kind of polygon that you want to plot over.

I suggest

num = xlsread('Plot_stats.xls');
surf(num, 'edgecolor', 'none')

I saved the file as xlsx, but could not upload it to math works so changed it to els file which has changed somehow the rows and column values, but i have that in 361*361 format.

I want to plot the polygons at those lat/long positions wherever i have the values in sgt file, so basically plot polygons for values other than NaN's

[Sophia]

Something like the plot attached here.

[Walter Roberson]

If you cannot attach the xlsx directly, then you can zip it and attach the zip .

In what you had attached previously there were no lat or long values; perhaps they will show up in the more complete data.

[Sophia]

Here it is, sheet 1 and 2 have long and lat

[Walter Roberson]

The .xlsx is 361 x 361, but otherwise it looks much the same as the .xls file. It has no header labels and none of the columns or rows is sharply different from the others, so none of them can represent latitude or longitude vectors that the other values are to be interpreted as being framed by.

[Sophia]

What does that mean??

[Sophia]

I Plotted this on top of my figure, but the result shows for each pixel not as polygon..since i am using plot

% Keep only statistically significant values
  sgt = idanom_trend_per_winter;
  sgt(idanom_trend_per_winter > 0.05 | isnan(idanom_trend_per_winter)) = NaN;

    k = ((~isnan(sgt(:,:))));
    lng = long(k(:,:));
    lt = lat(k(:,:));

    [i2,j2] = find((lat(k(:,:))) & (long(k(:,:))));
    m_plot(lng(i2,j2),lt(i2,j2),'k--');

[Walter Roberson]

If

idanom_trend_per_winter = xlsread('Plot_stats.xlsx', 'sgt');

then you have the problem that it is 269 x 256, not 361 x 361.

Did you try plot() to do the dashed lines, and fill() or patch() to fill the inside with colored tints?

[Sophia]

I have already plotted my values using contourf, i just need to highlight the areas where i have statistically significant trends
