Hi Don... Just a quick note -- this is really good! Following up on our phone call, however -- the nightly build does have an error in that it does not correctly find the "DefaultIdv" directory. Jeff's correction did work (thanks!) -- but for everyone else: you may want to wait a night before picking it up!! tom On 11/1/06, Don Murray <dmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi All- Nothing like a discussion on a public email list to get the creative juices flowing. Last night, I took a stab at rolling the functionality that Dave requested into the core IDV. For the daring, you can download and install the nightly build from: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly For 3D grids, you can now select a field on isobaric surfaces (e.g. temperature) and select one of the 3D Surface->* over topography displays. When you are prompted for the topography field, select the 3D geopotential height field. (you can also do this with streamlines if you select a flow vector derived field). This new feature allows you to select different levels instead of having to rerun the formula that Tom described yesterday. At present, you can't select the level before creating the display, but I'll see if I can get that into the next release. You also need to select a field and topography that are on the same grid. A bonus feature that fell out of this coding is that you can now position 2D fields and any level within the box. This has been on the TODO list for a while. Feedback on this would be appreciated. One sticky note down, 1100 to go. ;-) Don ************************************************************* Don Murray UCAR Unidata Program dmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx P.O.
