All,I am routinely producing gif images of satellite/surface obs/marine obs/watches/warnings. I also do the same thing using radar data. I noticed that the colors of my watch boxes on my satellite images aren't the usual red=tor, blue=svr, but they are correct on my radar images.
The relevant portion of my satellite generation script is:
gpmap << EOF
MAP = 17//1+32//3
TITLE = 31/-2/
DEVICE = gif|$IMGDIR/GOES${GOES}${FILE}.gif|1024;768
SATFIL = $SAT/GOES-$GOES/$RESOLUTION/$CHANNEL/$FILE
PROJ = sat
GAREA = $GAREA
CLEAR = y
PANEL = 0
WARN = ${dat}/${tim}||NO|NO|NO|YES
WATCH = ${dat}/${tim}||NO|YES|YES|NO
TEXT = 1.3/23/1/hw
LUTFIL = $LUTFIL
IMCBAR = 0
LATLON = 0
\$mapfil = hicnus.nws+hipowo.gsf
r
e
gpend
EOF
and my radar generation script...
gpmap << EOF
map = 17//1+31//3
TITLE = 31/-2/
DEVICE = gif|$IMGDIR/$FILE.gif|800;768
RADFIL = /data/ldm/NEXRCOMP/1km/n0q/$FILE
PROJ = rad
GAREA = 36.75;-90.60;46.25;-69.00
LUTFIL = leins_radimg.tbl
IMCBAR = 0
CLEAR = y
PANEL = 0
WARN = ${dat}/${tim}||NO|NO|NO|YES
WATCH = ${dat}/${tim}||NO|YES|NO|NO
TEXT = 1.3/23/1/hw
LATLON = 0
\$mapfil = hicnus.nws+hipowo.gsf
r
e
gpend
EOF
The WATCH portion of both scripts leaves the color portion blank since
it should assume the defaults. As you can see from the attached images,
both scripts produce very different looking watch boxes. Did I miss
something along the way? I clean out any leftover gempak files before I
start generating my images so I'm not sure where it would be getting
these alternate colors from.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Thanks, Dan
