Control Google Earth Milktruck from Matlab

Google Earth Monster Milktruck in Matlab GUI

This function is an example on how to integrate GoogleEarth Milktruckdemo in a Matlab figure or GUI and
control it via Matlab controls.

You need the GoogleEarth plugin to be installed. Therefore just visit a website, where the plugin is needed
and install it, e.g.: http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/earth/

The rest is more simple:

The workaround for integrating GE in Matlab GUI is simple to embed a Microsoft Internet ActiveX-Control in the GUI.
For the buttons just download uicontrol:
