Sir..
Thermodynamic diagram have almost all leaving tphigram.
Is it possible to add that?
Secondly, sometimes user needs pressure levels than altitude in
vertical cross-sections and vertical point profiles...

Re: Couple of features
Hi Ghansham -
Thanks for the requests. I looked through the inquiry system, and there has been a request in the past to be able to plot tephigrams. This is written up as McIDAS-V Inquiry #1107.
http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1107
I put this inquiry back into evaluation so it can be re-prioritized.
As for your second request, I didn't see an inquiry that matched this exact request, so I wrote it up as McIDAS-V Inquiry #1467. http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1467. This covers the ability to change the vertical axis of cross section and vertical profile displays from altitude to pressure levels.
Thanks again for the requests!

Re: Couple of features
Hi Bob,
Thanks for updating inquiry #1467. The ability to plot data using a pressure coordinate axis rather than using altitude is something which is very important to a number of CIMSS scientists. In addition, I believe that there are a number of scientists in other organizations who would like this capability as well. It would also be nice to see pressure marked as a vertical scale on any 3D display. In addition, have the ability to view a few more tick marks rather than only the top and bottom of the vertical scale as it is now when using "Display Scales."
Thanks,
Joleen

Re: Couple of features
I should also add that it is sometimes advantageous to use altitude as a vertical coordinate. When comparing aircraft flight data to a model, the automatic conversion of pressure levels to altitude using the standard atmosphere makes the job easier. Even in this case, it would be nice to have a few more tick marks labeled on the vertical scale.

Hi all,
Its nice to see a prompt reply from your side. Looking forward to see feature update.

Hi Joleen -
Thanks for your input. Adding the ability to do more with the vertical scale in the Main Display window is part of McIDAS-V Inquiry #1408.
http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1408
This inquiry is currently under evaluation. Using today's (05/13) nightly, we have incorporated the ability to customize the horizontal (lat/lon) scale in the Main Display with respect to tick mark and label frequency but this has yet to be applied to the vertical scale. I added to the inquiry that you would also like to customize tick mark frequency on the vertical scale.
Thanks again -
Bob

Re: Couple of features
Hi All ...
Hope all are doing well...
Lately I have been able to atleast get the Pressure Level as YAxis for Cross-Section Controls.
I think I can share it with you. I actually modified two classes: CrossSection Control and VerticalXSDisplay.
Actually I took IDV 4.0u1 as the base to start off.
I think this feature can be put on http://mcidasv.ssec.wisc.edu/issues.
I can submit the code. If somebody can help me to test it, that will be really wonderful.
Meanwhile I think another feature is there on the feature list to control the label on the axis ticks.
The reason is when I transform from altitude to pressure I get labels only for 100 mb and 1000 mb.
The scientists might be looking for a few more labels. I think this needs changes in core visAD.
Long way to go..
I am really bad at using git. So the best thing I can do is just upload the modified classes and let someone just
push into a test branch. I have test a bit it seems to be working fine.
Looking forward to hear.

Re: Couple of features
HI All..
Another issue is the vertical range in the display tab of the cross-section control.
It always shows 0/16000 irrespective of the fact the vertical range of data may be something else.
Another thing is that when auto-scale is checked, and we change the range, no auto-scaling happens.
I am not sure if this is the expected behavior.

Re: Couple of features
Hi Ghansham,
Does inquiry number 1389 cover this issue?
http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1389
I think the behavior was intentional, but the result is confusing.

Hi Ghansham,
Here is some information I received to explain the issue. However, I am not sure if it really clears up any of the confusion, it just explains the operation

-- it just scales to the set valueIn the "Main" display there is no "auto-scale"
In the "Control" display, if the "auto-scale" is checked (and regardless of the numeric value), any change in the Main display, will get re-displayed in the Control display with the vertical scale determined by the data.
