LAS Installers,
The latest release of LAS (v7.3) is now available. Below is a
summary of the new features, but as always this release includes a
number of bug fixes. We encourage you to move your installations to

Roland and the LAS Team
LAS v7.3 (August 2011)
With
this release we have focused on two area, F-TDS and the vizGal
visualization Gallery comparison interface.
This
version of LAS requires Ferret 6.71 . Install the Ferret
executables and environment.
F-TDS Fixes and Improvements:
- Bug fixes and enhancements
regarding character varibles.
- Improved attribute handling so
that derived data sets keep as much of the metadata in the
original data set as possible.
- Bug fixes regarding serving
F-TDS data sets via the TDS WMS server.
- Installers that are creating
virtual F-TDS data sets can now control which variables appear
in the final data set so intermediate variables needed for
calculations need not appear in the final data set.
vizGal
- This release reworks the
plotting done for the comparison interface to maximize the
size of the plots in the frame and moves the plot description
to a separate panel.
- The printing interface will
organize all of the plot in the gallery one-to-a-page with the
annotations displayed at the top of each page.
- Several bug fixes relating to
the history mechanism. Any vizGal URL should contain the
entire state of the gallery and can be shared like any other
URL.
