Text Plotting

Metview 4 completely revised its handling of Text, Annotation and Legend Plotting. The mains differences are:

  • Metview 4's Text Plotting icon no longer has any legend parameters - these are all now contained in the Legend icon.
  • The way to specify user text in a title has changed a little. Metview 3 contained options to specify whether a title contained automatic text, user text or both; Metview 4 instead has a default title line which is "<magics_title/>". Any text line with this string will have the automatic title; lines without it will not.
  • Magics++ also has features, documented here, to automatically add GRIB meta-data to a 'semi-automatic' plot title using GRIB_API keys. For instance, where Metview 3 used !PARAM!  Metview 4 would use <grib_info key='name'/>.
  • Another commonly-encountered change is that instead of Text Reference Character Height, Metview now has Text Font Size.
  • In Macro, ptext is replaced by mtext.
