------- Forwarded Message From: Robert Mullenax <address@hidden> To: "'address@hidden'" <address@hidden> Subject: RE: PATH Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 17:26:32 -0500 The path command will automatically draw the lines. Just add the points into the file and do: PATH PLOT FILE LINE=YES ..actually LINE=YES is the default so that isn't needed. If it's a waypoint or something like that, give it a label when you add the points and do PATH PLOT FILE LINE=YES LABEL=YES -----Original Message----- From: Travis Martin [mailto:address@hidden Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 5:03 PM To: address@hidden Subject: PATH Hello, Does anyone have any examples of using the path command to draw lines between lat/lon points? There is some brief documentation of the command possibilities, but not quite enough for me to jump in. Any code examples would be really helpful.

From: Robert Mullenax <address@hidden> To: "'address@hidden'" <address@hidden> Subject: RE: PATH Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 17:49:24 -0500 When I say file I mean the PATH file. e.g.: PATH MAKE TEST PATH ADD TEST 1 29.5 95.0 "POINT1 PATH ADD TEST 2 30.0 93.0 "POINT2 etc.. You could write a shell script that would read from a flat file of lat/lon points and add them using that command.

We use it to plot aircraft ground track data and lightning data. It maybe be useful to you. Greg ------------------------------------------------------- Gregory D.

Greg - The easiest way that I can think of is to just put your PATH ADD commands into a batch file and run the commands with BATCH. Another way is to write a McBASI job that reads a list of lat/lon points and creates the PATH ADD commands (I've attached an example of this to the end of this mail message). Let me know if one of these two ideas don't meet your needs. Thanks, and have a great weekend!
