Hi All,
I would like to have another round of testing and feedback for
the progressive resolution (PR) and new image chooser. Hopefully, this
will be the final round and I can do a formal release very soon. Please
download from the following link:

A few key points since the last communication:
1) PR checkbox has moved to the User Preferences > View. The main
concern is that we don't want to mix variables with PR and without PR
and create complicated derived variable. It would be a better design for
PR to be a global setting.
2) Match Display Area is now a property in the gridded dataset. If this
is checked in the properties window, it would be a default property for
the whole dataset. It can be overwritten in the data subset panel. This
change addresses Jim' request in the last meeting.
3) PR has been implemented in the ADDE point data server.
Another issue is the decision for the Naming of PR. I like to use
Progressive Resolution, and Don's pick is Progressive Disclosure. In
most situations of rubber band box (RBB), there is no feature hiding
being disclosed. In the case of point data, RBB may bring out more
stations in the view window. I would like to know your opinion here.
Thanks,
Yuan
