Now create a new Geographical View icon and edit it. Open the Coastlines help drawer and drag land_sea_shading into the icon field. Your Geographical View is now using a copy of this Coastlines icon. This is an alternative way to share embedded icons. Note that this Coastlines icon is embedded in the Geographical View icon (notice the ‘E’ symbol on the icon); it is not a link to an icon you can see on a Metview desktop, but is contained entirely within the Geographical View icon. If you move the Geographical View icon, the embedded Coastlines icon will move with it.
The Cartesian View
The Cross Section View
Now create a new Cross Section View icon. Visualise it and drop the t_an filter icon into the Display Window. A default cross section is generated. This is an alternative way to view your data - instead of a geographical plot for instance.
Edit the Cross Section View icon and change the transect line - click on the Geography Tool button to bring up an editor (or type the coordinate by hand). Save your changes in the Cross Section View icon and use it to re-visualise the data with this new cross section.
Note that you can still drag any valid contour icons you may have into the Display Window when visualising a cross section.
The Vertical Profile View
Now create a new Vertical Profile View icon. Visualise it and drop the t_an filter icon into the Display Window. This view shows a vertical profile at a point (or averaged over an area). Experiment with this icon in a similar way to how you did with the Cross Section View icon.
