Hi All,
I am working with gpmap drawing .vgf files generated by sigavgf from
BUFR data.
The problem I see is in labeling clouds: when one cloud is covered
partially by two clouds which intersect the lower cloud at opposite
ends, the lower cloud is represented as two segments (drawn with
'=')which are both labeled. See below (requires fixed width font).
_____________ _________________
| | lbl1 | |
| |========| |
| upper 1 | | upper 2 |
| | lower | |
| |========| |
|____________| lbl2 |_______________|
This is the simplest case. The problem is, under some circumstances
the
"lower" cloud can be divided into many
segments, each with a label. I have seen as many as six labels for the
same cloud.
So my question is, where does the segmentation occur? I would like to
modify the code at this point to retain a single label.
Thanks,
