The intention behind this page is not to advertise the new features of Metview, but to help users migrate existing plots and macros from Metview 3 to Metview 4. In general, icons and macros which do no plotting should require very little, if any, modification.
System Settings, Macro libraries and Defaults
With the aim of allowing Metview 3 and Metview 4 to be run side-by-side, Metview 4 stores the system settings in a different folder. Everything which was previously stored in the ~/metview/Metview folder is now stored in ~/metview/System. This includes default icons, icon templates, the contents of icon drawers and Metview preferences. These will be initially set to the new defaults, so any icon drawers or defaults you have created yourself will not be there (although you can still copy your old icons across to the new folders). Note that any macros in your Macros folder will not be automatically copied over - these can be copied by hand.
