Patrick, I expanded the STNPLT capabilities in 5.6.E.1. from: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/GEMPAK5.6/whats_new.html#5.6E Added ability to plot any station table column in STNPLT (instead of just station ID) by specifying the column number preceeded by '#' following the station table name: STNPLT text color/text attributes | marker attributes | stnfile#stntbl_column Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: "Patrick O'Reilly" <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200111301625.fAUGPrN18545 >A quick and semi-unrelated question: I know in GARP that there is an option >for Surface Airways overlay, not just the three-letter station id, but the >whole station name. Is there a GEMPAK option somewhere for this, to plot >the station name and station plot info? In sfmap, it plots only the >three-letter station id or numeric station id, as far as I can figure. >Thanks! > >Patrick > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Unidata Support" <address@hidden> >To: "Patrick O'Reilly" <address@hidden> >Cc: "Unidata Support" <address@hidden> >Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 3:49 PM >Subject: 20011120: Gempak Program: GPLABEL > > >> >> Patrick, >> >> The gplabel is not part of the GEMPAK distribution.
