David, The 5.6.f distribution is all set for these products in nmap2. In older distributions, you just won't see a calibrated colorbar- but the images will still display. I provided the following imgtyp.tbl entries in 5.6.f: ! Unidata GINI composite RADAR (ranges as defined in unidata/nex2gini.tbl) RADAR NET 0 255 11 2**25 1 upc_net.tbl RADAR N0R 0 105 11 2**26 1 upc_rad24.tbl RADAR NCR 0 105 11 2**27 1 upc_rad24.tbl RADAR NVL 0 255 11 2**28 1 upc_nvl.tbl RADAR N1P 0 255 11 2**29 1 upc_n1p.tbl RADAR NTP 0 255 11 2**30 1 upc_ntp.tbl And, you are going to need some color tables in $GEMTBL/luts: upc_rad24.tbl ------------------------------------------------------------ ! upc_ref24.tbl ! !
