Hi All, I am working with gpmap drawing .vgf files generated by sigavgf from BUFR data. The problem I see is in labeling clouds: when one cloud is covered partially by two clouds which intersect the lower cloud at opposite ends, the lower cloud is represented as two segments (drawn with '=')which are both labeled. See below (requires fixed width font). _____________ _________________ | | lbl1 | | | |========| | | upper 1 | | upper 2 | | | lower | | | |========| | |____________| lbl2 |_______________|This is the simplest case. The problem is, under some circumstances the
"lower" cloud can be divided into many segments, each with a label. I have seen as many as six labels for the same cloud. So my question is, where does the segmentation occur? I would like to modify the code at this point to retain a single label. Thanks,Mark Hughes, Global Weather Dynamics, Inc.
