radar | A radar structure. |
ELEVATION | Elevation angle of the sweep to be plotted. If omitted, the value of SWEEP_INDEX, if any, is used. If both of these keywords are omitted, the base scan is plotted. |
FIELD | A string containing the two-character radar field type to select, for example,'DZ'. Default is the first field stored unless VOLUME_INDEX has a value. The function rsl_get_fields can be used to get the field type strings from the radar structure. |
ABOUT_FIELD | Information about the field to be appended to TITLE. This replaces the default field information, which is simply a label such as "Reflectivity" or "Velocity". |
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. |
SWEEP_INDEX | Sweep index of sweep to be plotted, where zero is the base scan (default). If both ELEVATION and SWEEP_INDEX are given, ELEVATION is used. |
TITLE | Title to appear above plot. Default is the site name followed by date and time data was recorded. |
VOLUME_INDEX | The index number (0 to nvolumes-1) of volume (field) selected. Default index is 0. If keyword FIELD has a value, its value overrides that of VOLUME_INDEX. |
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. |
