rsl_plotsweep

This procedure plots the radar image for a sweep.

Syntax

rsl_plotsweep, sweep, radar_header [, MAXRANGE=value] [, /NEW_WINDOW] [, TITLE=string] [, WINDOWSIZE=value] [, LIKE_FIELD=string] [, ABOUT_FIELD=string] [, /ADVANCE] [, CHARSIZE=value] [, /BGWHITE]

Arguments

sweep A sweep structure.
radar_header Radar header structure. This provides time stamp and radar location.

Keywords

ABOUT_FIELD Information about the field which will appear in TITLE. This replaces the default field information, which is simply the field type, such as 'DZ' or 'VR'.
LIKE_FIELD Names a field type whose color table and value scaling is to be used to plot this data. Use of this keyword is necessary only if the field type for this sweep is not one of the those recognized by rsl_plotsweep. Recognized fields are DZ, CZ, ZT, VR, SW, DR, ZD, KD, PH, and RH.
MAXRANGE Maximum range to be plotted, in kilometers. This is used for scaling the image and is not necessarily the true maximum radar range. Default is 220 unless the radar site is Kwajalein, in which case it is 200.
NEW_WINDOW If set, a new window is created for plot.
TITLE Title to appear above plot. Default is the site name followed by date and time data was recorded.
WINDOWSIZE Window size in pixels. WINDOWSIZE may be scalar or a 2 element array. If scalar, this value is used for the x and y lengths. If an array, the first element is the x length, the second the y length. Default is 525.
ADVANCE This keyword is passed to IDL's MAP_SET procedure. When set, and !p.multi is set, IDL advances to the next plot position in a multiple plots window.
CHARSIZE IDL character size. Default is 1.
BGWHITE Set this for white background. Default is black.

Examples

Plot the first sweep of the second field in the radar structure, using a white background for the image.
