How to get Map Frame on the Top of other drawn objects

3 views (last 30 days)
I am using the mapping toolbox to draw a number of patchm objects. Unfortunately , there are a number of places where the edges of the patch cross the map frame that is drawn around the map boundary. Is there a way to make the map frame on top? I have tried the following with no luck:
-----BEGIN CODE BLOCK-----
latlim = [32 33];
lonlim = [-118 -117];
map = usamap(latlim, lonlim);
setm(map, 'MapProjection', 'Mercator');
setm(map, 'Grid', 'off');
setm(map, 'FLineWidth', 5);
plotm([1 1]*mean(latlim), lonlim + [0.001 0], '-r', 'LineWidth', 5);
uistack(handlem('Frame'), 'top');
-----END CODE BLOCK-----
In the example here I have inflated the width of the lines to highlight the effect. Thanks for any help.

Solution from Rob Comer:
because the frame is placed in the z == -1 plane by default, you have to change it its ZData to pull it upward. This should work:
zdatam(handlem('Frame'),1)
