Re: [visad] Hovmoller diagram

Hi Tom-

Thanks for the tip. At a first pass, I'm just looking at how to map the image data, so I'm not too concerned with the map lines at this point. It is more of a general question about how to do hovmollers and I think you've both given me a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks!

Don

Trickier part might be using YAxisOffset with the map boundaries, the ugly
way: lon,lat -> elem,line and duplicate those at each index in the field

that Bill suggested.

Thanks, Bill. I had tried using YAxisOffset and it sort of works, but
I think I was missing computing the scale and offset. Since I haven't
used the offset spatial scalarmaps before, I guess I'll have to bone
up on the caveats.

At least I'm on the right track!

Hi Don,

If the images are at evenly spaced time intervals
you may simply be able to replace:

Time -> Animation

with:

Time -> YAxisOffset

with appropriately computed scale and offset. If
the time intervals are not evenly spaced, then you
may need to convert your data to something like:

(Index -> (Time, ((ImageElement, ImageLine) -> Band1)))

and replace:

Time -> Animation

with:

Index -> YAxisOffset

It will be a little work to compute proper scale
and offset for the ScalarMap to YAxsOffset.

Good luck and let us know if you have any problems.

Subject: [visad] Hovmoller diagram

Hi All-

I have a set of images that show the data of a narrow band of the earth.
The MathType is:

(Time-> ((ImageElement, ImageLine) -> Band1))

with a CoordinateSystem of:

(ImageElement, ImageLine) ==> (Latitude, Longitude)

Normally, I map:

Latitude->Y Axis
Longitude -> X Axis
Band1 -> RGB
Time -> Animation

to do a time animation of the images. What I would like to do is
generate a Hovmoller diagram where Time is the Y axis and the images are
stacked along in time, such as the image here:

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gifs/gehov2.gif

What ScalarMaps would I need and/or how would I need to munge the data
to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help.

Don
