Re: [idvusers] Threshold for closed circle in station model?

Chris-

Except for 2.5 which is a single line with no flag, if I read the code right, it's >= on the low side and < on the high side (as you have it below).

Julien,

So would "10" be >=7.5 and < 12.5 and then >=12.5 and < 17.5 for "15"?
I guess the question is, "which edge gets the "=" sign for inclusion in the 
binning?"  I assume the break points are included on one edge. (There I go again, making more 
assumptions! )

Thanks for your help,

Professor Herbster,

We've been burned ourselves :-)

My notes say:

- a circle for calm winds (0 speed)
- a shaft with no barbs<= 2.5 knots
- a shaft with a half barb for > 2.5 and< 7.5 knots

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Best Wishes,

Hi folks,

Before I attempt to look through code that I don't know (in a language
I can barely read), can anyone help with a definitive answer to the
thresholds used to draw a "calm" circle around a station, a shaft with
no barbs, and then the 5 knot increment for the barbs?  (I assume that
a "short barb" for "5 kts" is drawn is speed is >2.5 kts and <= 7.5,
but I have gotten burned by an assumption more than once in the past!)

As always, any help is welcome!

Thanks,
Chris Herbster
