Existing icons will continue to work as they currently do
The new icon introduces the ability to select between nearest gridpoint and interpolated point
The new icon introduces the ability to supply custom axis definitions
To migrate to the new icon:
- Parameter Pressure Level Axis has been replaced by Vertical Scaling
- Parameters Top Pressure and Bottom Pressure have been replaced by Top Level and Bottom Level
- The macro function name has changed from xsectview() to mxsectview()

What is true for Cross Section View is also true for Average View, except:
- The macro function name has changed from averageview() to maverageview()

What is true for Cross Section View is also true for Vertical Profile View, except:
- The macro function name has changed from vertprofview() to mvertprofview()
- it gains a new parameter for setting the limits of the x-axis

Migrating from Metview 4.3 to Metview 4.4

...

Icons from Metview 4.3 will not be visible in the user interface. It is hoped that not many users will have used this view icon in Metview 4.3, as it was not fully implemented, and did not work in batch mode
The new icon introduces the ability to select between nearest gridpoint and interpolated point
The new icon introduces the ability to supply custom axis definitions
The macro command remains the same, mxsectview(), but may fail if it uses the old parameter names. It is recommended to update any macros which use this function:
- change pressure_level_axis to vertical_scaling
- change top_pressure to top_level and bottom_pressure to bottom_level

What is true for Cross Section View is also true for Average View, except:
- The macro command remains the same, maverageview()

What is true for Cross Section View is also true for Vertical Profile View, except:
- The macro command remains the same, mvertprofview()
- it gains a new parameter for setting the limits of the x-axis
