Re: ERROR: illegal limits
Mike,
It's SOOO convenient for you to have the dataset available via dods!
Here's an explanation of the problem:
1) The automatic generation of this file must have had some problem
because the longitude for this particular dataset is really -122.39.
2) Ferret is not being too smart about the longitude axis. The netCDF
file does not include the modulo attribute which Ferret expects for all
modulo axes
modulo = " "
We'll try to get this fixed for the next release of Ferret.
In the mean time, you can create some special scripts which will add
this flag and tell LAS to use these scripts through the xml
configuration file:
<properties>
<ferret>
<script_prefix>modulo_t_</script_prefix>
</ferret>
</properties>
In LAS v4 (what I think you have) you'll need to create the following
files:
modulo_x_draw_1d.tmpl
modulo_x_draw_2d.tmpl
modulo_x_std_gif.tmpl
modulo_x_std_list.jnl
In modulo_x_std_gif.jnl you'll need to change the lines calling the two
template files:
[% IF args.rank == '2' %]
[% INCLUDE modulo_t_draw_2d.tmpl args = args %]
[% ELSE %]
[% INCLUDE modulo_t_draw_1d.tmpl args = args %]
[% END %]
In the modulo_x_draw_1(2)d.tmpl files you'll need to add the modulo flag
to the X axis of the variable being accessed:
set data "[% args.dataset_name %]"
SET AXIS/MODULO `[% args.variable_name %][l=1],return=xaxis`
In the modulo_x_std_list.jnl you do the same thing this way:
! Hack to get quoted string with leading '/'
def symbol foo = "$1"
cancel mode interpolate ! important when evaluating the size limits
set data ($foo)
SET AXIS/MODULO `$2[l=1],return=xaxis`
In LAS v5 (soon to be released) the initialization script <init_script>
is used to initialize the data so that adding the modulo flag can be
done with a single modified script rather than the above mess.
I've got your data working in my test server (LAS v5 which you may
download via remote CVS if you wish to upgrade). I'm using the DODS URL
of this dataset and a simple <init_script> to tell Ferret that the X
axis should be modulo.
Here's my test server. (I'll try not to leave it broken today.) Your
data is in the dataset named "m2_adcp_wh_1999"
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/callahan/
I've attached a configuration file I modified to use the DODS URL and to
specify the <init_script> I used in our LAS.
Let me know if you have any problems getting it sorted out.
