Hi Joleen, I am able to reproduce the problem. I did run the file through a CF compliance checker and there are some errors. I did note that I can load the data through the GUI. Both the GUI and background should work identically. If you get a chance, please see if you can correct the NC compliance ...

This would be very useful. Having just a shape is not a great solution as it would look different from projection to projection. Hopefully it can work like the arrows were you specify beginning and ending lat/lon pairs. I created inquiry 2126 to request the enhancement.

Hi Joleen, The size limitation is not only due to the buttons (for example the Stop Sign and remove layers/data), but also the menu items (for example File and Tools) These are required in the foreground. Per our discussion, I'm also adding two additional potential solutions to the inquiry: The firs...

Hi Joleen,

This option broke with 1.5. I created inquiry 2125 to address the problem.

Hi Joleen, Documenting the exact size is difficult as it changes between operating systems. Additionally, user defined buttons are not likely to be of uniform size. I have written up an inquiry allow buildWindow to create a window without a toolbar. You would not be able to interactively work with t...

Hi Joleen, I was able to run a background script (not from the jython shell) using buildWindow(width=50,height=50) and successfully created a movie that was exactly that size. Are you running from the jython shell or from background? Creating a window through the jython shell requires that the windo...

What do you mean by a 'North Marker'? Do you need an arrow or the letter 'N' or something fancier?

Hi Joleen,

We agree that the first example should work. The format of the date/times returned from getImageTimes looks correct and is of the correct type. I'll write up an inquiry.

Hi Joleen, I'm glad you found the bug for #1. This will be important for users as they may not know the current operational schedule (routine, rapid scan, eclipse ...). If an image is missing you may have to handle subsequent code differently. There is an error message that is sent back from the arc...

Hi Joleen,
