Re: [las_users] longitude range in dataset XML ignored by LAS UI map

Hi Roland,
All are calling the same UI default, so I don't think that's the issue about why the x axis is being ignored. But hopefully the full configuration files will help tease out the problem. I've attached two and renamed them to old_working.xml and new_broken.xml. In addition, I've included their default UI config file in case that helps (ui_hawaii.xml). If you need something else, lemme know. Thanks!
Well, I've had a look.  Here's a screen shot of the new interface with the new_broken.xml configuration.

Is the region you expect to see in the old interface?

Roland

Cheers,
John

Dear LAS Community,
> I'm having difficulty specifying the longitude range for a new dataset that I'm trying to add to our LAS installation (LAS UI Version 6.5.2.2). No matter what I put in my LAS XML config file, the longitude range is ignored and the entire available longitude range in my LAS interactive map is used instead. The only thing that differs between this and a previous dataset (ROMS ocean model) is that this one is higher resolution (~25 m, or ~0.0027 degrees longitude). Does LAS have a minimum allowable "step"/cell size? Here is what I have in my LAS XML config file for latitude and longitude for this dataset:

Instead, the full longitude range of my interactive map is used instead (-166 to -151), resulting in xy map plots that do not render any data and span the entire globe in longitude (0-360 degrees). I have tried slightly modifying the "start", "size", and "step" values for the x axis with no luck.

The full region is a small but wide sliver over what is a map of Hawaii (mostly greyed out). Note that the longitude range is much wider than what I specified in the XML (pasted above). Click "Next>" and you will get a mostly empty xy map plot that spans globally from 0-360 degrees in longitude. Go back and change the longitude range from -158.0 to -157.8. Click "Next>" and you will see what the data should look like.
