\cancel mode verify ! vertical_section.jnl ! 12/1/94 *sh* ! 10/2003 *acm* ! Description: Create an arbitrary 2D vertical section from a 3D field ! ! Updated in 2003 to use the SAMPLEXY function. The argument list ! has been changed with this update ! NOTE: Also see the script samplexy_demo.jnl for a more ideas on ! creating vertical cross-sections, when the path is not a straight line ! usage: ! arg1 arg2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 ! GO vertical_section plot_command variable xlo,ylo,xhi,yhi,nx ! arguments ! variable (arg1) - the variable to be sampled. >>BE SURE TO SPECIFY A ! UNIQUE T= OR L= VALUE IN THE DEFINITION<< ! xlo,ylo,xhi,yhi - the lower left and upper right coordinates of the section ! to be extracted. ! >> NOTE THAT COORDINATES MUST BE PURELY NUMERICAL: ! FOR LONGITUDE DEGREES EAST USE NUMERICAL LONGITUDE ! FOR LONGITUDE DEGREES WEST USE 360-LONGITUDE ! FOR LATITUDE DEGREES SOUTH USE (-1) * LATITUDE ! FOR LATITUDE DEGREES NORTH USE NUMERICAL LATITUDE ! nx (arg7) - the number of desired horizontal points ! examples: ! 1. Create a section of a variable which is defined in X-Y-Z-T, ! at a single time and over a range of depths, with the section ! running from (100e,40S) to (300E,40N) ! yes? GO vertical_section SHADE/T="1-jan-2001"/z=0:120 var 100,-40,300,40,81 ! 2. Create a section of the Levitus climatological temperature running ! from (160e,20s) to (140w,30n) ! ! yes? SET DATA levitus_climatology ! yes? GO vertical_section FILL "temp[x=150e:130w,y=25s:35n]" 160,-20,220,30,61 ! Notes: ! 1) Quotation marks avoid a syntax error from the comma in "temp[...,...]" ! 2) The region x=150e:130w,y=25s:35n is a subset of the full data ! set chosen (arbitrarily) large enough to encompass the ! section to be sampled. ! check the arguments query/ignore $1%
