This icon is a plotting specification for cross section plots from a suitable GRIB data source . It can also take the output from a Cross Section Data icon as an input. In this case, a consistency check is performed between the parameters that are common to both icons. In addition to the parameters required for the cross section computation, this icon specifies the axis details as well as the plot positioning in the plot frame of the display window / paper sheet and the overlay of different data units in the same plot. To access the computed output values use the Cross Section Data icon. If an orography is plotted it can be customised by applying a Graph Plotting visual definition icon. Further details on the role and usage of View icons in the visualisation process, please see Analysis Views. The macro language equivalent is mxsectview(). |
