Plotting sector(minor) with a heat map, see image.

Hey guys

I am studying subsurface flows on the sun, i have been advised to use matlab to look at the data. I have not used matlab before so i am a novice. I have able to get the data into matrix form and plot it. I am stuck at trying to plot the data in sector form as shown in the image below, so i want to plot in the shape of a piece of cake(sector) with x and y axis showing depth, and the arc showing latitude ((from)0:7.5(intervals):(to)60). I want to show the speed of the subsurface flows like a heat map with various colours. Following from that i want to plot the changes in flows over time as an animation in the sector with the colours.

I have tried looking for videos on youtube but im not even sure what i should be searching for or what command to use. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like you might want to use the slice plot.

I doubt you'll get such a nice image without a lot of work though.

 doc slice

i dont need all the shiny imaging stuff, i just need to plot a sector with x=y showing depth and the arc as latitude with a heatmap showing changes of speed, like a contour map, doc slice looks interesting, i will have a read

Then slice() should work.
