Hi Greg, re: > I'm generating gif images of the national radar HiRes composite using > gdplot2. The incoming gridded data is being decoded and saved to a > single file by day (20080310_rad1.gem). My script is generating a gif of > the latest data (GDATTIM=LAST). My question is: Is there a way to > include a date/time stamp in the GF driver output filename? The online Users Guide page for gdplot2: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/programs_index?gdplot2 lists TITLE as a viable option for plotting. This does not appear to be output driver dependent. The Users Guide page for TITLE: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/variables_index?title says that one can use the '~' (tilda) character in the TITLE text to represent Valid date/time. Have you tried using this? If yes, does it not work/do what you want? > Does GEMPAK > have any kind of filename date/time templates for device outputs, like > YYYYMMDDHHNN? I don't see anything in the GEMPAK Users Guide that indicates that there is support for this formalism. You may want to send your question to the gembud email list to see if others have a clever way of doing what you want. > Thanks, > Greg > > -- > > ~~N~A~T~I~O~N~A~L~~C~E~N~T~E~R~~F~O~R~~A~T~M~O~S~.~~R~E~S~E~A~R~C~H > Greg Stossmeister e-mail: address@hidden > NCAR/EOL phone: (303)497-8692 > P.O.
