  • Existing icons will continue to work, but with the following limitations:

    • They will appear in faded colours in the user interface
    • Pressure Level Axis will be ignored; Linear will be used. The Cross Section View can be used to change this, and it could be advisable to set Interpolate Values to No.
    • Top Pressure and Bottom Pressure will be ignored; Metview will generate its result using the whole data range. The Cross Section View can be used to change this
  • To migrate to the new icon:
    • To control the type (linear/log) or the range of the vertical axis, the use the Cross Section View
    • Interpolate Values has a new default value of No (previously it was Yes). This provides a default result which is more closely based on the input data. If set to Yes, the plotting of the upper atmosphere plotting on a logarithmic vertical scale could show some artefacts from the interpolation
    • The macro function name has changed from cross_sect() to mcross_sect()

...

  • 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    • Parameter Pressure Level Axis has been replaced by Vertical Scaling
    • Interpolate Values has a new default value of No (previously it was Yes).
    • Setting Vertical Scaling to Log is now a purely visual change and no longer affects the actual values computed; this fact is compensated for by disabling Interpolate Values by default
    • Parameters Top Pressure and Bottom Pressure have been replaced by Top Level and Bottom Level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()
