Now when you apply this icon you will see that the palette is fixed wherever you zoom. There will probably be parts of the plot which are not filled; this is because our range of contour levels does not cover the whole range of values in the data. Change the list of contour levels so that the whole plot will be covered - you only need to add one number to each end of the level list to do this (or else change the current numbers at the ends of the list).
Modifying a Default Icon
As an exercise, we will now make our set of coastline attributes the default in all Metview plots.
- Open the folder called System.
- Now open the subfolder Defaults.
- Do one of the following: edit the Coastlines icon in the Defaults directory, or else delete it and copy your new Coastlines icon into the Defaults directory.
