Re: How do I speed up the time animation capturing feature?

Hello, The image you shared is the McIDAS-V directory. This directory doesn't contain any code, but things like user preferences, formulas, color enhancements, etc. that you would want retained as you update McIDAS-V versions. The directory where McIDAS-V was installed to (called McIDAS-V-System by ...

Re: How do I speed up the time animation capturing feature?

Hello, Thanks for your question about animation capturing speed. The way that McIDAS-V captures animations is by doing a screen shot of each frame before moving to the next. This process takes a bit of time and does not use the dwell rates specified in the Time Animation Widget. I wrote up Inquiry 3...

Re: How do I plot a simple location mark by lat/long?

Hello, I think you're on the right track by using the Drawing Controls. Once you add a drawing control layer to your display, in the Layer Controls you should see a "create a symbol" button (see the red square in the image below): draw1.png Once you select this shape, you should be able to...

Re: No winds above 150 hpa level

Hi Raul, Great! I'm glad that disabling this option made your data visible. If you like clipping of the wireframe box on the horizontal scale, but still want all of your vertical levels visible, you could increase the height of your wireframe box. This can be done with the "set vertical range&q...

Re: No winds above 150 hpa level

Hello, I tried some GFS global 0.25 degree data in core 1.8 and I was able to plot trajectories and other plan view displays above 150 hPa. One thing I noticed is that, by default, the wireframe box goes up to 16km vertically. This is generally somewhere between 150 and 100 hPa, so any level above 1...

Re: TROPOMI NO2 columns

Hi Michael, McIDAS-V has a variety of formulas packaged with it that allow for operating on the data. One of these formulas, Mask Values, allows for displaying a variable only where the values of another variable are greater or less than a threshold value. Here is the process of displaying TROPOMI N...

Re: TROPOMI NO2 columns

Hello, Thanks for your question about reading TROPOMI data into McIDAS-V. The current McIDAS-V release (version 1.8) does not support TROPOMI data. We added this functionality to our 1.9beta1 nightly build, though, which you can download here . The login and password are both: mcv I would suggest do...

Re: Scatter Analysis

Hi Joleen, Improving the speed of the Scatter Analysis in McIDAS-V is one of the first things on my list after the release of McIDAS-V 1.9. Ghansham has some impressive work to improve the efficiency of the display and you can find more information about this on this forum post . The forum post incl...
