change contour interval

[CNETO]

When i display BTD( WV-IR ) data as 'Color-Filled Contour Plan View', the default contour interval is 2, i tryed to change the interval = 1, like this:

Code: Select all

dataLayer = panel.createLayer('Color-Filled Contour Plan View', BTD_positive)
dataLayer.setContourInfoParams('interval=1;min=0;max=20;base=0')

I didn't get any error message, but nothing happened. So, I tried to apply the configuration change like this:

Code: Select all

dataLayer.applyPreferences()

or

Code: Select all

dataLayer.applyContourInfo()

I have to be missing something. how can i effectively change the contour interval of a Color-Filled Contour Plan View display?

Hello -

I tried various iterations of setContourInfoParams and applyContourInfo as well without success, so it doesn't seem like setting a contour interval through scripting is possible at the moment. I wrote up an inquiry to cover adding the ability to set contour properties via scripting.

Sorry that I don't have any better news at the moment. We are, however, actively working on adding more functionality to scripting to match what you can do through the User Interface.

Thank you for your effort Bob. I appreciate.
I would like to ask you another question:
I'm working with a netcdf file, opening it and displaying it using script. They are 15 files, named TXS_PPI_N4_1.nc, TXS_PPI_N4_2.nc, TXS_PPI_N4_3.nc....... TXS_PPI_N4_15.nc. This files contain differente times for the same variable (log_reflectivity_filtered_h).

Is there a way that i can use

Code: Select all

makeTimeSequence()

to join the files and display them as a time sequence image?

Two possibilities come to mind:You can explore "aggregation" of the netcdf files:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/ncml/Aggregation.html

Check out "Exercise 4"... you can create an NCML file (a kind of XML file) that tells the netcdf library to logically join the files in a directory.

Otherwise, you can also just try to select all the files in the Files Chooser, you can try selecting the desired netcdf files in the directory (using CTRL+click for individual files, or SHIFT+click for a range). See the User Guide section on "Displaying Local Files" for details.

Also, if more discussion of this is needed, please create a new topic so it doesn't get lost...
