Metview's documentation is now on readthedocs!

For more information, see Migrating from Metview 3 to Metview 4.

The following examples illustrate the differences in how curves are plotted in Metview 4 compared with Metview 3. The differences are summarised here:

  • the curve() function is replaced by the input_visualiser() function to define the curves. The Input Visualiser provides a way to plot lists of values in various ways.
  • the curveview is replaced by the cartesianview. The Cartesian View is a general X/Y coordinate system suitable for any non-map-based plot. The Curve View does not exist in Metview 4.
  • the axis limits are defined within the Cartesian View, not in the Axis definitions - these are now only for visual attributes of the axis; the View contains all the information for setting up the coordinate system
  • the custom legend entries are defined in the legend() function - Metview has a new Legend icon for controlling the legend.
  • use of mgraph() instead of pgraph(), etc. These are the Magics++ versions of the visual definition icons.
  • specification of output plot files is a little different
