Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I can't find any documentation for the syntax for the input file used with
gen_vx_mask, other than the poly name with pairs of data. My mask is small:
npac.poly 15.0,-135.0 15.0,115.0 70.0,-135.0 70.0,115.0
but, I get the error:

I just need to know the proper way to set up the input file.
Thanks!

Hi Rosalyn,
It appears that you need to see a sample of a poly file format. The
poly
files need a header followed by the lat,lon pairs. Here is an example
of a
poly file used by MET:
EAST
47.21184 -98.23244
47.11518 -97.12586
46.36584 -97.27562
45.62014 -97.41983
45.51431 -96.35903
44.77478 -96.51689
44.03891 -96.66912
43.30675 -96.81602
42.57834 -96.95787
41.85373 -97.09491
41.13296 -97.22739
I hope you find this helpful. Please let us know if you need further
assistance.
Regards,
Minna

Oh, so, the poly file name is a single line at the top, and there is
no
space in between the lat/lon pairs? Or, is that a space...hard to
tell
from the email.
So, that is:
Lat1 Lon1
Lat2 Lon2
Lat3 Lon3
etc
correct? Not all on one line, right?

Hi Roz,
Yes, my apologies for not indicating that there is a whitespace
between the
lat-lon values, with each lat-lon pair to a line.

Great. I'll try that, and let you know if I have success. So, don't
close
the ticket yet.

Subject: question on syntax for gen_vx_mask input file?

Hi Minna,
I think that I generated the mask correctly. I don't have the ncview
utility to view that the region I defined is correct. Is there
another way
to display my mask file?

Subject: question on syntax for gen_vx_mask input file?
From: Minna Win
Time: Tue Aug 15 11:52:57 2017
Hi Roz,
You can use plot_data_plane to generate a plot in Postscript, which
you can
then view in any Postscript viewer such as ghostview. Here's how you
can
generate a plot:
<your-MET-bin>/plot_data_plane \
<your gridded data file> \
<output file name>.ps \
'name="your variable"; level="level of interest";'
These are the required arguments for plot_data_plane.
so for example, if I had a NetCDF file with variable APCP_18 and I was
interested in pressure level 0 mb, I would do the following:
<my-MET-bin>/plot_data_plane \
nam_2012040900 <%28201%29%20204-0900>_F018_APCP18.nc \
nam_F018_APCP18.ps \
'name="APCP18"; level="P0";'
This will generate the plot for APCP18 at the specified level with the
name
nam_F018_APCP18.ps If you want to add a title, change the color, etc.
there are options you can use. Please refer to the MET User Guide on
page
290-291 for more information on these options:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v6.0.pdf
I hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any other
questions.
Regards,
Minna

Subject: question on syntax for gen_vx_mask input file?
From: Rosalyn MacCracken - NOAA Affiliate
Time: Tue Aug 15 12:16:23 2017
Hi Minna,
Thanks for letting me know about plot_data_plane. I actually
remembered
that I could easily view the netCDF file with grads. I had to move
the
file to a different machine, but, I was able to view it, correct my
mistakes with the *.poly file, and create my mask files. So, I
believe I'm
set now. I think you can close the ticket now, since i was successful
in
making my masks.
Thanks for your help!
