%FILLM  Project 2D patch objects onto the current map axes
%
%  FILLM(lat,lon,cdata) projects 2D patch objects onto the current
%  map axes.  The input latitude and longitude data must be in the same
%  units as specified in the current map axes.  The input cdata defines
%  the patch face color.  If the input vectors are NaN clipped, then
%  a single patch is drawn with multiple faces.  FILLM will clear the
%  current map if the hold state is off.
%
%  FILLM(lat,lon,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...) uses the patch
%  properties supplied to display the patch.  Except for xdata, ydata
%  and zdata, all patch properties available through FILL are supported
%  by FILLM.
%
%  h = FILLM(...) returns the handles to the patch objects drawn.
%
%  FILLM, without any inputs, activates a GUI for projecting patches
%  onto the current axes.
