The following describes each formula included in the Maps Formulas section of McIDAS-V.
3D Map (MapData, Topography) - Creates a 3D map including your selected parameter.
Average from map (Field, Map) - Plots the average of the selected Field with respect to the chosen map.
Inverse subset field from map (Field, Map) - Plots the values on the map, multiplied by -1 to represent the inverse values for the selected variables/times.
Make field from map bounds (Number Points X, Number Points Y, Fill Value, Unit) - Makes a field in which the area is the bounds of the given mapSet. The length of the map is determined by the number of points in the X and Y direction.
| Input Parameter | Definition |
|
Number Points X |
Number of points in the X direction (default=100) |
|
Number Points Y |
Number of points in the Y direction (default=100) |
|
Fill Value |
Fill value (default=0) |
|
Unit |
Unit data will display in |
Subset field from map (Field, Map) - Subsets a display of the chosen Field to the map that was loaded in separately as a shapefile.
