Is there some kind of input map size limitation that could explain why caxis or CLim do not work?

Hello,

I've written a script that turns contour elevation data into a DTM grid and plots the slope at each grid point in 2D:

    surf(xi,yi,slope, 'LineStyle', 'none'), colorbar;
    colormap jet
    title('Slope')
    xlabel('Longitude')
    ylabel('Latitude')
    zlabel('slope')
    view(2)

I would like to change the coloubar scale. I tried CLim and caxis, which work when the map is small enough. They don't when the map is several km wide. Is there some kind of limitation in matlab that could explain that? Are there any alternatives to do that?

Thank you

bumping this if anyone's got any idea..

Can you please attach some data and the script you use?

No really I'm afraid, the dataset for which resetting the colourbar does not work is huge, which may well be the problem...

Unfortunately the implementing code that is called is .p files that we cannot examine.

There are some cases in MATLAB graphics where when you ask to graph over a certain size of data, that a different kind of plot is generated internally; I seem to recall that is done for scatter() but I do not recall it being mentioned for surf()

You should probably open a support case.
