This is an example of a Metview 1 macro and its equivalent in Metview 4.
Original code:
cont cont = pcont( contour_lo_colour : "blue" )
coast = pcoast( map_coastline_colour : "background" )
win = plotwindow
( row
row : 1, column column : 1, width width : 1000, height height : 888, pane_organization organization : "independent", subpage_map_projection projection : "polar_stereographic", subpage_map_hemisphere hemisphere : "north", subpage_map_vertical_longitude : vert_long, area area : [la1,lo1,la2,lo2], background background : coast )
Translated code:
cont = mcont( contour_hilo hilo : "on", contour_lo_colour : "blue" )
coast = mcoast( map_coastline_colour : "black" )
polar_view = geoview
(
map_projection projection : "polar_stereographic", map_hemisphere : "north", map_vertical_longitude : vert_long, map_area_definition definition : "corners", area area : [la1,lo1,la2,lo2], coastlines coastlines : coast )
page = plot_page( view : polar_view )
win = plot_superpage( pages : [ page ] )
