Here you go, with a bit of photoshop cheating it works I just put this together quickly, but with a bit of time it can be improved.

For Cape values you`ll need grib, but unfortunately daws does not support scripting with grib data. As for the sst, I don`t that`s possible to avoid contouring over the land without importing complicated overlays etc. Ie: You could create two basemaps. One for daws, and second would be edited on pho...

Randy,

Just create a transparent overlay and import it. You`ll need one for each analysis. For example here`s what I`m doing on my 500mb plots map. The analysis info is displayed along the top, then I just added my own logo along the bottom left.

Thanks Pat,

A few tweaks, as I prefer the standard 4mb increment. The azores high show up nicely below.....



I should spend more time on scripting!! I`m full of a cold at the moment

Thank god Tim added a PNG module to Fusion. We certainly couldn`t have made such colourful maps on the old DAWS without creating huge bmp or fuzzy jpeg images!! Hey Pat, while you`re on a roll with these scripts. How about a colorfill mslp/isobars script? :wink: Randy, you add the legend/logo in pre...

Nice one Pat, I thought NCEP had finished the 211 domain. Still that won`t help Ian who is after European grib.

Ps. Looks like I`ll be tinkering again

Nice work Pat

Would be nice if we could use different logos/legends for different maps. I suppose for now we could use transparent overlays for each script but it`s a pain.

Grib is fine, but a lot of people forget the datasets are huge. Often over 100mb and this usually just kills digital atmosphere and ingesting these would be a large memory hog. The old ETA 211 domain was fine as these were only around 1 or 2mb in size which DAWS just about handled. Digital Atmospher...

Oh, I thought they were? No big deal.....

Might be an idea for Tim to remove that option from the data menu

Anyone else having problems with the convective outlook not working? Had a quick look through the raw data, all the headers seem intact but then I`m not entirely sure what I should be looking for!!

Selecting either day 1 or 2 does nothing.
