Help! How to get the weather information of a point plot?

[ricardo marcelo da silva]

fwrite outputs in binary, so you will not be able to open
it in a text editor like a ASCII file.
You can try to write it to a ASCII file, using
write command script. Note, it is not a GrADS command,
but a GrADS script command.
After that you can use PHP/Java,etc... to read that file.
