...
Specifies the type of plot to be generated. This also implicitly specifies the type of data which will be entered. The available modes follow a set format: the first part is either 'Geo' (geographical coordinates) or 'Xy' (more generic coordinates); the second part is 'Points' (individual points), 'Vectors' (individual points with vector information) or 'Binning' (the points will be gridded – see Binning).
Table Filename
Specifies the path to the ASCII table file to be used. Alternatively, drop an icon into the Table Data field, which overrides Table Filename.
...
Drop an ASCII Table icon into this field to specify the data to be used. A Notes icon will also be accepted, since Metview cannot automatically determine many be expected to automatically discriminate any but the most common types of ASCII table data from other ASCII files. Note that Table Filename is an alternative way of specifying the file.
...
Specifies how the X values should be interpreted, as numbers or as dates. Only available for 'Xy' type plots.
...
Specifies how the Y values should be interpreted, as numbers or as dates. Only available for 'Xy' type plots.
...
Specifies which variable/column to use for the x co-ordinates of the points. Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type. Only available for 'Xy' type plots when Table X Type is Number.
...
Specifies which variable/column to use for the x co-ordinates of the points. Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type. Only available for 'Xy' type plots when Table Y Type is Number.
Table X Missing Value
Points with this value in their x co-ordinate will not be plotted.
Table Y Missing Value
Points with this value in their y co-ordinate will not be plotted.
Table Longitude Variable
Specifies which variable/column to use for the longitude co-ordinates of the points. Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type. Only available for 'Geo' type plots .
Table Latitude Variable
Specifies which variable/column to use for the latitude co-ordinates of the points. Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type. Only available for 'Geo' type plots .
Table X Component Variable
When set to a 'Vectors' type plot, this parameter specifies which variable/column gives the magnitudes of the vectors in the X or longitude direction (e.g. U-component of wind). Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type.
Table Y Component Variable
When set to a 'Vectors' type plot, this parameter specifies which variable/column gives the magnitudes of the vectors in the Y or latitude direction (e.g. V-component of wind). Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type.
Table Value Variable
Specifies which variable/column supplies the values for the points. Can be a name or an index - see Table Variable Identifier Type.
Table Binning
Drop a Binning icon here. Only available for 'Binning' type plots.
