Hello,We would like to generate images from GFS in IDV using ISL scripts. Currently, ISL allows the user to put the valid time for the image as part of the filename saved using built in time macro:
<image file="${islpath}/gfs${time:yyyyMMMddHH}.png">
Are there any elegant solutions for adding the forecast hour as part of
the file name? For example, if I was making the 24 hour GFS forecast,
it would be great to be able to do something like this:
<image file="${islpath}/gfs${time:yyyyMMMddHH-FFF}.png">
or
<image file="${islpath}/gfs${fx:HHH}.png">
which would generate a filename of gfs2014Mar0400-024 or gfs024.png
I could probably write something in ISL to do this based on the time of
executing the script, but I would have to keep it current depending on
whether NWS changes model run times & modify it based on different model
runs/types (GFS, NAM, RR, etc.); it would be easier (& probably more
useful to others) if the functionality was built in to ISL. Any
developers on this list ;)
