Is there any way to replace the cube in matlab 3d plots with a dome

Is there any way to replace the cube in MATLAB 3D plots (see below) with a dome and overlay it with an image? I know I can overlay images on the sides of the cube but I am not sure if I can replace the cube with a dome instead?

imwarp is the easiest way. You can also apply CData as a texturemap for surf or patch.

can you provide an example? not sure how can I use imwarp for this purpuse. Note that I am refering to the 3d gridding cube

I should have said warp()
