Julien et al., This worked for me with county boundaries (with topographic data consisting of the geopotential height of the ocean or ground surface in a 40 km NAM model run). However, once the map boundaries were plotted on the topography, I couldn’t control the line widths—they were stuck on the narrowest width (presumably 1 pt.). Specifying other widths in the “Point Size” text box of the “3D Map - Topography” control window (and pressing the Return key) had no effect. (I can change the line color, though.) Also, if I add a color-shaded or color-filled contour plot of topography, then the colors compete with the map boundaries also plotted on the topography, so that the map boundaries aren’t always visible. (Selecting "View > Bring to the Front” in the 3D Map -Topography control window doesn’t do anything in this context. Increasing the transparency of the topographic color-fill or color-shaded plot helps, but of course makes the topography less visible. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is something buried in the Vis5D code and isn’t accessible to IDV developers. — Dave *************************************************************** * Dr. Dave Dempsey, Chair | ^ ___ \|/ * * Dept. of Earth & Climate Sciences | ) ^ /||_||\ —-0—- * * San Francisco State University | ) ) / ||_|| \ /|\ * * 1600 Holloway Ave. | ) ) / ||_|| \ * * San Francisco, CA 94132 | ) ) / ||_|| \ ^ * * | ) ) ) ||_|| \ * * Phone: (415) 338-7716 | ) ) )~~||~||~~~~~\~~ * * FAX: (415) 338-7705 | ) ) ) ) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ * * Email: dempsey@xxxxxxxx<mailto:dempsey@xxxxxxxx> | ) ) ) ) ) ~ ~ ~ ~ * ***************************************************************
