Hi Tom-Thanks for the tip. At a first pass, I'm just looking at how to map the image data, so I'm not too concerned with the map lines at this point. It is more of a general question about how to do hovmollers and I think you've both given me a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks! Don On 10/27/10 11:10 AM, Tom Rink wrote:
Trickier part might be using YAxisOffset with the map boundaries, the ugly way: lon,lat -> elem,line and duplicate those at each index in the field structure that Bill suggested. Don Murray wrote:Thanks, Bill. I had tried using YAxisOffset and it sort of works, but I think I was missing computing the scale and offset. Since I haven't used the offset spatial scalarmaps before, I guess I'll have to bone up on the caveats. At least I'm on the right track!

If the time intervals are not evenly spaced, then you may need to convert your data to something like: (Index -> (Time, ((ImageElement, ImageLine) -> Band1))) and replace: Time -> Animation with: Index -> YAxisOffset It will be a little work to compute proper scale and offset for the ScalarMap to YAxsOffset. Good luck and let us know if you have any problems.

The MathType is: (Time-> ((ImageElement, ImageLine) -> Band1)) with a CoordinateSystem of: (ImageElement, ImageLine) ==> (Latitude, Longitude) Normally, I map: Latitude->Y Axis Longitude -> X Axis Band1 -> RGB Time -> Animation to do a time animation of the images. What I would like to do is generate a Hovmoller diagram where Time is the Y axis and the images are stacked along in time, such as the image here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gifs/gehov2.gif What ScalarMaps would I need and/or how would I need to munge the data to accomplish this? Thanks for your help.
