You can include contour plan views in HTML pages with the IDV. These displays are fully interactive 3D IDV displays, with zoom, pan, contour level valu choices, time animation, and choice of colors and maps.
Under the displays below, select a time and numerical weather prediction model for the data source. The Eta and RUC model output cover North America, and the AVN output is global.
After selecting time and model, click on Create temperature contours. Ten seconds or more may be needed to retrieve the data and create the display. Data is coming from a remote Unidata THREDDS server.
Once the display is complete, all IDV controls are available.
You can:
Rotate the 3D display in this page by dragging with the right mouse button. Zoom in by shift-up arrow; zoom out by shift-dwon arrow. Pan by ctrl plus left and right arrow keys. Restore initial overhead view with crtl-r.
To change the level, right-button click on the label "truewindvectors Wind plan view Level 1000.0." A menu will appear; click on "Properties." Another window will appear, the actual Display Control for the display. You can select other levels, and change or edit color tables. You can change contour levels. Click on "Clear" to remove the Display Control.
See the IDV Help facility for more about controls. Click on Help in the main IDV menu, and in the User's Guide look for topics titled General Controls -> Time Animation Controls, General Controls -> Zoom Rotate and Pan, General Controls -> The Maps Menu, and Display Controls -> Plan View Control.
