function help_loading(self) % Coastline data consist of counter-clockwise closed contours, % separated by NaNs. The geographic positions must be stored in a % Matlab mat-file, using the variable names "lon" and "lat", in degrees. % The current coastline data can be replaced at any time, using the % "SeaGrid/Load/Coastline" menu item. % % Bathymetric data consist of arrays of points, stored as three % columns in an ASCII file, or stored in a mat-file as variables % "xbathy", "ybathy", and "zbathy", corresponding to longitude, % latitude (both degrees), and positive depth (arbitrary units), % respectively. The current bathymetric data can be replaced % at any time, using "SeaGrid/Load/Bathymetry". % % Boundary data can be loaded from a three-column ASCII file of % of [lon lat isCorner], where isCorner is 1 for each corner and % 0 for all others. A corner-point must be the first element in % the file. Do NOT repeat the first point at the end. % Copyright (C) 1999 Dr. Charles R.
