Dear IDV Users,
In the area of ameliorating IDV publication quality graphics, we have
made improvements to allow for wire frame axis labeling. In particular,
if you go to the Map View, View-->Properties, Horizontal and Vertical
Scale Tabs, you can turn on axis labeling, and also specify a variety
of latitude and longitude formats. In addition, you can specify major
increment spacing and minor increment divisions as well as the position
of the "base label". The vertical axis can also be turned on and off.
A known issue is the pole projections. They are not incorrect, but are
somewhat awkward since the y-axis is at roughly the same latitude at the
poles. Let us know if you would like us to focus attention in this area.
This capability is currently only available in the IDV nightly build,

We await your feedback.
Best,
Unidata IDV Support
