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...

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...

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...

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this and for all of the detailed information. I wrote up inquiry 3073 for us to investigate this issue. I will let you know when any development is done to get this data supported in McIDAS-V.

Thanks again,

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...

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...

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...

Hi Ghansham, Thanks for following up on this one. As of right now there is no real update. We are currently in the process of completing the last couple items for the McIDAS-V 1.9 release. I'll put this on my list to look at first thing once the release is out, and I'll follow up with you with any u...

Hello, I haven't heard of the 2Met software and it wasn't developed by anyone in our McIDAS group or at the University of Wisconsin. For any questions on that software I would need to direct you to the contact link on the CGI webpage . I'm only seeing very minimal information about 2Met online, so i...
