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


Dear Sir,

Greeting from Nepal.

I have been using MET Packages for Object Based Verification(MODE). Successful running of MODE tools give 4 output file including postscript file. However, Postscript files contains country boundary map on forecast and observation object, which has a rough National Boundary.I wish to add country shape file on maps of postscript file obtained from MODE run.A sample output file from MET output is attached herewith.It contains a rough national boundary of Nepal.In stead of rough national boundary,I would like to add a actual national boundary (shape file) of Nepal. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Govind,

I see you are trying to add a shape file to adjust the map on the PS
output
of MODE. I have assigned this ticket to John Halley Gotway, a software
engineer on the METplus team. Please allow a few business days for a
response.

Thanks,
George

From: John Halley Gotway

Govind,

Good news. This should actually be pretty easy. When the MET tools
draw
maps, they do not actually use shapefiles to do so. We could modify
the
code to do so... and probably should, but for now they use lat/lon
data
files that live in the "data/map" directory. We have in fact already
included higher resolution maps for each country in there, but by
default,
MODE creates plots using coarser data. All we need to do is
reconfigure
MODE to tell it which map data files to use.

Since you're creating plots of Nepal, this is likely the map data file
you
want:
https://github.com/NCAR/MET/blob/master_v9.0/met/data/map/admin_by_country/admin_Nepal_data

Next, how do you configure MODE to use this data? Take a look in the
ConfigMapData file:
https://github.com/NCAR/MET/blob/master_v9.0/met/data/config/ConfigMapData

This defines the default map data for the plots created by MET. I'd
recommend just copying that entire "map_data = {...}" dictionary from
that
file and pasting it to the bottom of your MODE config file. If you add
it
to your MODE config file, it'll override these defaults.

I did test this myself, using the settings below. I plotted the
default
country data in black and overlaid the Nepal data in red (rbg = 255,
0, 0).
See below.

I've attached the result but am disappointed by it. The provinces of
Nepal
are pretty rough.












*map_data = {   line_color = [ 25, 25, 25 ]; // rgb triple values, 0-
255
 line_width = 0.5;   line_dash  = "";   source = [      { file_name =
"MET_BASE/map/country_data"; },      { file_name =
"MET_BASE/map/admin_by_country/admin_Nepal_data"; line_color = [ 255,
0, 0
]; }   ];}*

This Nepal map data was generated from a low-resolution shapefile. Let
me
know how you'd like to proceed. Is there a specific shapefile whose
data
you'd like to use?

Thanks,
John

Dear Sir,Thank you very much for quick response. I have Nepal shape
file attached herewith.I want to use the attached Nepal shape file in
MODE output post script file.Shall I put that .shp file
in met/data/map directory?

Govind,

I've attached another plot using the highest resolution of map data I
have.
The upside is that it's very detailed. The downside is that instead of
running in approx 2 seconds, it takes over 5 minutes to process all
the
global admin data!

And that's obviously not workable! One approach would be subsetting
this
highres data down to only the data for your domain.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
John

No, putting it into that directory will not suffice. Instead, we need
to
convert it from a Shapefile to a map data file. I think I have a
script
that will help me do that.

So I'll take a look and get back to you soon.

Thanks,
John

It seems the detailed one as you mentioned which is less important for
me.It would be better if we could plot only of Nepal domain.

OK, I converted the shapefile you sent to a map data file that MODE
can
read. See the attached screenshot and data file.










*map_data = {   line_color = [ 25, 25, 25 ]; // rgb triple values, 0-
255
 line_width = 0.5;   line_dash  = "";   source = [      { file_name =
"new_national_boundary_data"; }   ];}*

Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks,
John

Thank you very much.But, I wonder, Shall I keep this new boundary data
file inside /home/gopi/MET/met-8.0/data/map/admin_by_country/ ??Or
shall i copy 
*map_data = {  line_color = [ 25, 25, 25 ]; // rgb triple values, 0-
255

step to use this map data file for postscript?

From: John Halley Gotway

Govind,

You're welcome to store that map data wherever you'd like. You just
need to
reference its location in the MODE config file. Perhaps it'd be wise
to NOT
store it in the met-8.0 directory. Because when you install a newer
version
of MET, it will not be included in that newer version. So if you end
up
deleting the met-8.0 directory when you install met-9.0.2 (for
example),
you'd also be deleting that file.

Thanks,
John

Thank you very much Sir. I have successfully got the result what i
need.Heartily thanks.The sample output is attached herewith.I wonder
to know how to convert shape file into map data
(new_national_boundary_data) file.Because i may have to use different
shape file map in future.

Great, your output looks good.

The tool I used to convert the shapefile to the map data file actually
does
live in the MET repository. It's called make_mapfiles:
https://github.com/NCAR/MET/blob/master_v9.0/met/src/tools/dev_utils/shapefiles/make_mapfiles.cc

However, there are a few issues:
(1) It is a development utility, not a publicly supported tool.
Therefore
it is excluded from the released tarball. However, if you were to
compile
the repo with the "MET_DEVELOPMENT" environment variable set, that
would
compile this utility.
(2) Currently, it is NOT actually compiling. But I am fixing that
today, as
described in this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/NCAR/MET/issues/1364
(3) Also, I had to make some changes to it to get it working with the
shapefile you sent.

I think there are some options to consider:
(1) Should we make these development utilities more widely available?
If
so, we'd need to document and test them... which is a lot of work.
(2) Should we update the plotting logic to switch from these map data
files
to plotting shapefiles directly?

Thanks,
John
