Re: [las_users] Date display in LAS 7.3 for dataset with Seasonal_reg time axis

[Roland Schweitzer <roland.schweitzer@xxxxxxxx>]

Penny,

Something like this will work:

    <SEASONAL_REG-t-id-5ac9582d22 type="t" modulo="true" units="month">
         <v label="Winter">15-Feb</v>
         <v label="Spring">16-May</v>
         <v label="Summer">16-Aug</v>
         <v label="Fall">15-Nov</v>
  </SEASONAL_REG-t-id-5ac9582d22>

Using Ferret 6.72, I created a seasonal climatology netcdf file using the seasonal_reg axis.  The resulting file contains four time values and addXML created an XML file with the following

    <SEASONAL_REG-t-id-5ac9582d22 type="t" modulo="true" units="month">

    <arange start="0000-02-15 15:43:39" size="4" step="3" />

  </SEASONAL_REG-t-id-5ac9582d22>

 

Ncdump shows the values as SEASONAL_REG = 1095.7275, 3287.1825, 5478.6375, 7670.0925 ;

 

This displays dates from Feb to Nov on the screen in the dropdown date box.  I removed the ‘modulo=”true”’ clause but it did not change the display.  I tried using <v>Winter</v>,<v>Spring</v>, etc. which produced a nice dropdown but got an error when trying to produce a plot. 

 

How do I get a date dropdown with just 4 values for this file?
