Hi Mohit-

Yes it does. dirn gives the direction relative to true north, dirr gives
the direction in grid relative coordinates. See the documentation at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/userguide/tools/JythonLib.html

What display are you using to view these? If you are using the image
display, then the default range for the color table is 0 to 255. You
can change this by using the Change Range menu in the Color Table menu
of the display control. Change it to 0 to 360.
