Re: 答复: about UWM/coads data

[Ansley Manke <ansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,
I'm afraid I didn't look closely enough at the shape of
your data.  To use the 3-argument shade command,
the data must be 2-dimensional. This kind of data is
used to describe various map projections or other kinds
of grids.  Do the latitude and longitude values describe
any kind of grid?  Or are they scattered in space?

If they are scattered values, you might use one of the
"gridding scattered data" functions, scat2gridgauss_xy
or scat2gridlaplace_xy.

Hi,
There is a way to do this, which wasn't available in 1996.
Starting with Ferret version 4.9 or so, we are able to plot
fields using "curvilinear coordinates".  One can do, for example,

yes? SHADE clm[L=2], lat, lon

See the descriptions of this in the Users Guide, under "curvilinear
coordinates".  There are curvilinear versions of the SHADE,
CONTOUR, FILL, and VECTOR commands.

Dear ferreters,

      I encounter the old proble which had been  in Ferret mail archives
on 1996. But no reply in it.

yes? use sst.nc
yes? show data

How can I  shade/contour/fill this in ferret like grid data?

 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks
