  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I'm running plot_data_plane and I'm getting the following error:
"Box::set_lrbt() -> width and/or height negative!". What does this mean and
how can I fix it?

Thank you,
Lindsay

Hi Minna,

I'm running on dakota. Here is the command and the location of the
files
I'm using:

command: /d3/projects/MET/MET_releases/met-
9.0_beta3/bin/plot_data_plane
dryline_test.nc dryline_test.ps 'name="delta_u_direction";
level="*,*";' -v
5

data: dakota:/d2/lblank/dryline_test.nc

Thanks!

Best,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,

The output from the debug indicates that the Nlat and Nlon values of
-9999
are strange.  So I looked at the dryline_test.nc file and noticed
that:
   Nlat:721LL
   Nlon:1440LL
   lat_ll: -9999  <-looks like a fill value, is this correct???
   lon_ll:9999
   delta_lat: -9999 <-fill value or calculated???
   delta_lon: -9999

I'm not sure what the 'LL' means, does that look  correct?  Somewhere
in
the MET code, there is a check for negative values of the width and
height,
and it looks like the code that creates the bounding box is using
incorrect
values for either u or v (I'm just looking at the code, I haven't run
anything in a debugger).
At this point I'm grasping at straws...

Thanks,
Minna

Negative sized width/height errors are no longer observed when the
Nlat, Nlon, etc attributes are assigned as strings.  Now when
comparing the ncview output of the drylines with the PS produced by
plot data plane, it appears that the MET code is somehow flipping the
points with respect to the Equator.  The two plots of the results are
attached.

This issue is being reassigned to Randy Bullock.

Additional note, the plot from ncview was viewed in bi-linear mode and
expanded via M1/3.

MET_Version global attribute was missing in the netcdf file, causing
old grid-construction code to be called.
