Re: Calculate 12 hour rainfall totals

Hello - I spoke with a few people around here, and we feel that the way to do this is with Jython programming. We also believe that this would be a great example to share with everyone. One of our programmers is going to spend some time working on this, and we will show you how to do this. Our progr...

Right click on the 'Time step difference (D(T)=D(T)-D(T-1)) formula in the Field Selector tab of the Data Explorer, and select 'Edit Formula'. This opens the Formula Editor window. In the Formula f...

Re: dateline?

Hi HP and Kaba - I have written up McIDAS-V Inquiry #1203 to cover the formulas that do not default to the correct display type. m I also noticed that the display type used for the formulas is carried over from the last formula that you selected, meaning that a lot of the formulas initially default ...

Re: dateline?

Hi Kaba and Tim - The 'Enable access to image data by reference' option actually is checked on by default when you first install McIDAS-V. As for your second note, I agree that there are a few things in McIDAS-V that automatically don't default to their ideal settings (display types, as you noted fo...

Re: dateline?

Hi Tim - There is an option in the Advanced User Preferences for 'Enable access to image data by reference'. From your attached image, I believe that you do not have this option selected. Check the box for this item, and hit Apply/Ok. Note that you will need to restart McIDAS-V for any changes in th...

Re: Formulas adding inconsistently

Hi Joleen -

I have tried removing formulas a few times and they always seem to be removed when I restart McIDAS-V. I added your mention of this happening to the inquiry's request.

Thanks -

Re: Formulas adding inconsistently

Hi Joleen - I saw the same thing happening back in early December and it appears to still be a problem. I wrote this up as inquiry #1179 and added this forum post to it. m It appears that things work (as far as editing/creating formulas) through the Tools menu in the Main Display window if you have ...

Re: Export Data for a particular lat/long

Hello drogers - To export the numerical values of several different parameters at once at a particular lat/long, you would create a Data Probe/Time Series display. To do this, load all of your data sources (grib2 files) in the Data Sources tab of the Data Explorer. Select a Field for one of your dat...

Re: user control text display outside of wireframe box

Hi Joleen - Although I understand why McIDAS-V crops off text displayed outside of the wireframe box when you have the 'Clip View at Box' item selected, I understand how it could be useful to be able to display certain data (like text) outside of the box. I have added this as a request for an enhanc...
