> Hello, > > Trying to use IDV 5.5 to make a simple plot of 925 mb wind vectors overlayed > over 850mb color shaded contours of temperature. I’m able to plot each > parameter individually, but the 850mb map blocks the wind vectors (per IDV’s > design of displaying data at the level it is at). When I go in to the > dashboard and select the wind vectors, then select View-> Bring to front, > nothing happens. How can I get the wind vectors to overlay on the temp map? > > Thanks, > Brendon Hi Brendon, You can use the Formula > Grids > Make slice 2D to create the display of 925 wind vector and 850 temperature contours, so both on the ground level and you can then use the bring to front function to adjust the display.
