No Fill color with negative DegC temp values

Post by Isospessore »

Hi,
I'm a new user of DA.
I'm now learnig to write scripting files.
In particular I'm trianing with the fill color option.
I'm encountering problems when I work with negative temperature values (DegC), i.e., the temperature h500 or h850...
no color is plotted
when I write for example equa=-2 or grtn=-4...ecc...
It seems that DA doesn't colour negative fields. Is it possible??

Thanks a lot
Maurizio

I posted this just the other day on another thread, but it will solve your
problems too.

DAWS cannot handle negative numbers directly.

But if you load one of the storage slots with a value close to zero you can compare data in two ways - producing either a negative or a positive result. The comments in the script below should make clear what is going on.

This script will colour fill zones from -40 deg C to + 40 deg C.

Enjoy,

Les


================================

#Temperature fill for 'H500'
#
ERASE
ANALYZE,STOR=1 TEMP H500
#Store approx. ZERO in STOR No 2 (i.e. TEMP/1000)
analyze,STOR=2 SDVC=1:1000

# The above lines place a TINY value (approx zero) into STOR No 2 and
# this is used to compare with the TEMP value (which does not need to be entered
# with each further line). By calculating both (TEMP - STOR) and (STOR - TEMP) you
# have access to the full range of both positive and negative temperatures.


# 'SDIF=2:1'lines yield Temperatures BELOW zero Celsius
# 'SDIF=1:2'lines yield Temperatures ABOVE zero Celsius
