Metview 4.4 introduces new icons for Cross Section Data, Average Data, Vertical Profile Data, Cross Section View, Average View and Vertical Profile View. Their functionality remain largely the same, but the concepts have been cleaned up, with a clearer separation between the responsibilities of the Data icons and the View icons. For example, specifying that the result should be plotted with a logarithmic axis should not be part of the Data icons, but should instead be the sole responsibility of the View icons, as it is a purely visual characteristic. Additionally, some parameters were not generic enough - for example, the Top Pressure parameter can also be used when the data are in model levels, and has therefore now been renamed to Top Level.

Warning
In order to obtain the new icons, you should delete the old ones from your Modules (Data) and Views drawers, then update the drawers. If you have problems running the new icons, you may have to go into your System/Defaults folder and delete the icons with the same names there, as these may have incompatible parameters. This is a side-effect of keeping the same names for these icons.

Migrating from Metview 3 is a little different to migrating from Metview 4.3, so both cases are treated separately here.
