Make multiple plots from 3D matrix, of data inside given polygon

I have a 420*940*12 matrix (the value of each grid ranges from 0-100) and I want to plot data only inside polygon S, with lat (420*1) and lon (940*1) as grid references.

We can create a single plot of only points without its values (0-100):

S = shaperead(polygon);
N = length(S);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(lon,lat);
data= test;
for k = 1:N
    idx =  insidepoly(X(:),Y(:),S(k).X,S(k).Y);
    hold on
    plot(X(idx), Y(idx), 'r*')
end

But this figure is only showing the points not its values (0-100) And the output is something like this:

one plot

But I have to plot multiple data together, lets say 12 months of a year so, how can I make 12 plots together according to values (0-100) as in the below figure?

month plots

Solution

  • one possible solution is to use montage, see here:

    img = imread('peppers.png');
img = repmat(img,1,1,1,6);
montage(img)
