Hi Tatiana, I'm new using IDV and would like to know if there is a way to display > characters with a specific color on a map (e.g. "c" red, "w" blue) > I have this CSV file (see attachment) and have been trying to display it to > a map but the only thing I get is a map with crosses. > Can anyone point me in the right direction? > > You need to use a different layout model for the point plots. In the layout models you can specify a mapping from a value to a color. Attached is a colorletters.ism IDV station model file. In the IDV go to Tools->Layout Model Editor. In the Files menu do File->Import and import the attached file. Once imported you can double click on the one symbol defined to bring up the properties editor. Under Color->Color by Parameter you will see the mappings from the letter values to color. Go ahead and change the colors to the desired ones. -Jeff
