Re: 20030815: IMBAR or other?

Stonie,

To be more clear. I created my own calibrartion format for the GINI images I
created in nex2gini.

If you were to preprocess your images and follow that format (my tables are in
$GEMTBL/unidata/nex2gini.tbl) for examples, then you would get units and scales
on the image bar. The format I used allows for multiple scale ranges within the
bar as is necessary for the precip scale in NIDS for example. You could
rip the code from nex2gini.
