Re: Grid Skew-T

Re: How do I customise Default Background Maps?

Hi Yunus, I'm replicating the problem of the map lines being hidden behind the data using a 2D map panel if I zoom in close enough to the data. Zoomed out, the map lines appear on top of the data for me. I wrote this up as inquiry 2993 . Sometimes this can happen in standard 3D map display panels as...

Re: How do I customise Default Background Maps?

Hello, I'm glad you were able to come up with workarounds for some of your problems. I decided to keep inquiries 2988 and 2989 open as I feel that these are both good suggestions and there may be more general solutions to them other than creating a new projection. I added mention of your workaround ...

Re: How do I customise Default Background Maps?

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...

Re: How do I customise Default Background Maps?

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...
