HI Ben,
I have 2 questions which might be answered in the latest version (I'm on 2.6
and I know there's one a little newer)... but they are:
1: When I output a L2 Radar to KMZ format, I'd like the highest resolution I can
get. But instead it seems to be limited to my current display adapter resolution
setting. (i.e. 1280x1024 is better than 800x600 (eww?) ) Is there a setting
hidden somewhere?
I assume you mean the resolution of the generated image? When in
interactive mode the image size is the size of the view window you are
capturing. You can capture an arbitrarly large size image from the isl
when in off screen mode. In the "bundle" tag just set width and height
to the size you want:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/isl/DataAndDisplays.html#bundle
Just do a Save As... and specify something.isl. Chcck off Movie and
change the name of the generated product to something.kmz. In the
latest release we also support writing an image as a .kmz file.
In the ISL settings dialog under the advanced tab just specify the
dimensions. Then run the idv with the .isl file as an argument:
idv something.isl
and this should generate the kmz file with the larger image size.
2: Speaking of displays, the default quality for a NexRad display is "medium"
where I would like "high". Where can I set this to be the perm default? (I
looked in help... and wasn't sure if I found the right thing when searching quality)
I'll defer to my more knowledgeable colleagues on this one.
