Importing and Plotting a GRIB file
When you first start Metview, you will see something like this:
This sort of window is called a Metview desktop.
...
Move the icon into the folder 'a quick toursimple visualisation' by dragging and dropping it there. Enter the folder and do this exercise there.
...
We will investigate these features in more detail later, but for now close the Display Window.
Cursor Data
The Cursor Data button in the toolbar toggles a panel which follows the mouse cursor. Click with the left mouse button to 'dock' or 'undock' this floating panel. It provides information about the data point closest to the mouse cursor.
Extra Work
Making best use of the space
The toolbar at the top of the Display Window contains controls for resizing the plot, and for hiding the sidebar panel at the right of the window. Use these to maximise the plot area.
Controlling the animation
Try the animation controls at the top of the Display Window and play with the speed settings.
