Hi all,<br>
<br>
as suggested before I would appreciate to have a resource, something
like 'mpDataGrid', too, to just set one resource instead of 4
resources for regional grids.<br>
<br>
Bye,<br>

a regional plot and you get a global plot. </div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">This is a
major change to the default behavior, however, and we would
have to consider this very carefully before moving forward
with it. Perhaps as an interim solution, we can offer up a
new logical resource that tells NCL to crop the map based on
the lat/lon values provided by the user, so at least you
only have one resource to set instead of four. </div>

<div class="">I also find this annoying but rather than change the
default or existing features. </div>
<div class="">Could you add another option to mpLimitMode as
“Data” which sets the limits to the data extents. </div>
<div class="">Makes it a quick thing to type out without having to
manually set the extents and doesn’t (shouldn’t) break anything
existing. </div>

<div class="">3) Similar to this discussion, is there any
feasibility to have a “defaults” file where the user could
change some of these options? </div>
<div class="">I have tons of repeat resources in every script,
which just change font sizes etc and I pretty much always change
them to the same value. </div>
<div class="">I personally also will willingly take the time hit
to have nice coastlines. Globally these things probably
shouldn’t be changed, but if the user could set their own
defaults it could be quite nice. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Actually this is kind of done with the
set_default_fillvalue(). </div>
<div class="">Could we have e.g. </div>
<div class="">set_default_resource(“txFontHeightF”, 0.018) </div>
<div class="">A file with these could then be loaded at the top of
scripts without having to think too much about it. </div>

1) We had discussed the zooming idea before posting to
this list. We decided against it because it's hard to
define that "threshold". However, we are open to ideas. It
just makes it more difficult to describe the behavior of
resources to users once you start putting complication
conditions on it.</div>
