McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hello, There is no simple way of doing what you are suggesting. Is there any reason why you need the AREAs locally and can't work directly off of the remote server/dataset? Please note that the advice below might be useful if you have familiarity with Python scripting, especially in McIDAS-V. If I u...

Hello, This seems to work on Windows 10, but I replicated your error on macOS. I wrote this up as inquiry 2995 . I did find a way to get this working though. Here are the steps: Load your data source as normal. Display your data as normal. In the Layer Controls tab of the Data Explorer, select "...

Hello, While we are actively working on the 1.9 release, I don't yet have an estimate on when it will be released. However, I noticed that I actually can create GFS global 1 degree soundings in the core 1.8 build. See this image: soundings.png There are two "Sounding Data (with true winds)"...

I added mention of your workaround ...

Hello, When loaded through the HYDRA chooser, McIDAS-V sets the min/max enhancement values based on the min/max of the data in the scene. When loaded through ADDE, McIDAS-V uses a parameter default to display the data with a range of 180 - 320K. You can see statistical information about the data obj...

Hello, Thanks for the explanation of why operating on a layer before displaying it would be ideal for you. I wrote up inquiry 2991 to evaluate adding this functionality, though I don't have an estimate on when this would be done. As you noticed, there is no ability to load data through a script that...

Hello, There is no way to operate on a layer without first creating/displaying it. You could display the layer and immediately toggle off the visibility with: MODlayer2.setLayerVisible(False) From here, you can operate on the layer. For example: MODlayer2.setEnhancement('Temperature') And then toggl...

Hello, There are several resources to see which functions are available to use in the Jython Shell (as well as background scripts). There is a Scripting section of the User's Guide that describes many basic functions and provides sample commands. The bottom of the page has links to additional functi...
