display conflict with joint image and wind barbs
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2016 2:32 pm
When I display an image band (typically from AVHRR) after having displayed a wind barbs (typically from ASCAT), I would expect the wind barbs to disappear under the image. But this is not so. The winds remain 'on top', save the flags (>50 units) - they disappear. Of course, the flags re-appear when I do View > Bring to Front.
This siutation is prone to mislead the user. With the wind barbs (partially) preserved, you may be led to believe that the wind field is on top and well displayed, which is only true as long as the wind speeds are <50 units. Good programming would call for the winds being covered completely by the image, wouldn't it?
