Thanks, Yuan and Don! It sounds like what I'm trying to do may not be possible in the IDV right now, but just to make sure before turning this over to my poor NCL skills - here's another question/option: If I use the data transect display that docks in the dashboard, I can plot precip vs. horizontal distance (top image in the attachment) -- it's only in the actual Transect View separate window that the 2D rain field becomes a problem and goes to a flat line since it doesn't have a height coordinate. I'd now like to simply plot different precip fields against each other (all vs. horizontal distance - ignore terrain/altitude for now). Can I add more than one precip field/file to the data transect view type seen in the attached? Thanks again very much, Kelly On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 12:00 PM, <idvusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Send idvusers mailing list submissions to > idvusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.unidata.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/idvusers > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > idvusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > You can reach the person managing the list at > idvusers-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of idvusers digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
