Function Synopsis

Help text

CONTOURFM  Filled contour map. 

  CONTOURFM(lat,lon,map) produces a contour plot of map data projected
  onto the current map axes.  The input latitude and longitude vectors
  can be the size of map (as in a general matrix map), or can specify the 
  corresponding row and column dimensions for the map.

  CONTOURFM(map,maplegend) produces a contour plot of map data in a 
  regular matrix map.

  CONTOURFM(lat,lon,map,'LineSpec') uses any valid LineSpec string
  to draw the contour lines.

  CONTOURFM(lat,lon,map,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...) uses the
  line properties specified to draw the contours.

  CONTOURFM(lat,lon,map,n,...) draws n contour levels, where n is a scalar.

  CONTOURFM(lat,lon,map,v,...) draws contours at the levels specified
  by the input vector v.

  CONTOURFM(map,maplegend,...) takes any of the optional arguments 
  described above.

  c = CONTOURFM(...) returns a standard contour matrix, with the first
  row representing longitude data and the second row represents
  latitude data.

  [c,h] = CONTOURFM(...) returns the contour matrix and the handles
  to the contour lines drawn.

  CONTOURFM, without any inputs, will activate a GUI to project contour
  lines onto the current map axes.
