Hi Jeff,
Thanks. I used your file as a template and was able to load three
other parameters in addition to the one you wrote up.
Best regards,
Felix

Hi Felix,
We have four displays we'd like to create. They are all 2D-grid
contour plan view displays available within NAM data files:
wind speed @ height above ground
dew point temp @ height above ground
temp @ height above ground
pressure reduced to MSL @ MSL
Having reviewed the ISL "creating a display" documentation at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly/docs/userguide/isl/DataAndDisplays.html#display,
our question is, what specific property values do we need to pass in
order to get these displays to load? This was not clear to us.
It looks like we need to add something to the effect of...
<display
type="planviewcontour"
param="windSpeedDisplay">
Actually the param attribute is the name of the data parameter. You can
get the name by loading the data source into the IDV, bring up the
Properties dialog for that data source (right click on the data source
in the Field Selector) and look at the Details tab. You can also mouse
over the entry in the Fields list in the Field Selector to show a
tooltip that names the field.
Attached is an example isl file that creates a contour plan view of the
pressure reduced to msl field.
