Re: How to draw data on multi-grid
Hi Zhi,
The 3-argument shade, fill, and contour commands can plot curvilinear
data. If the curvilinear coordinate variables are geolon and geolat,
and var is the field of values, then the syntax is
yes? use tripolar_data.nc
yes? shade var, geolon, geolat
See "curvilinear coordinates" in the Users Guide.
For your data in multiple files, you may be able to make a plot using
overlays. If one file contained longitudes 0 to 180, and
another contains 181 to 360, for example, then,
yes? use file_1.nc
yes? shade/hlimits=0:360 var, geolon, geolat
yes? use file_2.nc
yes? shade/over/lev var, geolon, geolat
If there are discontinuous longitudes, then the SHADE command may
scramble the plot. We are currently developing a SHADE/MOD curvilinear
command, which will treat the longitudes as modulo coordinates. There
is more development to do, to get truly modulo behavior from curviilnear
coordinate data.

Hi,
I figured out why ferret can draw the graph of data from multi
file. The reason is the axis data
of my files. The axis data is the index of the grid, not actual grid
location. One reason is that
the axis grid is not the actual grid location when the grid is
tripolar grid ( for same index j, latitude
may be different for some points and lontitude can be different for
same index i). We want to push
user always to use the geographical grid to draw the graph. I don't
know if ferret developer can
extend the ferret usage.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have global data sets that are splitted into four files (the grid
in each file is part of
the global grid). I want to plot the data in one picture using those
four files (like using shade).
The grid is curvilinear. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Zhi
