All,
We just uploaded to sourceforge version 2.0.a5-oga.4 of the OpenGrADS
Bundle:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=305032&release_id=674371
As the previous OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a5-oga.3 this release is based on
COLA's GrADS v2.0.a5 and includes additional user defined functions and
commands based on the OpenGrADS User Defined Extensions (see original
announcement of the OpenGrADS Bundle on this list for important caveats; a
complete list of extensions appear at the bottom of this message.) Read more
about bundles here:
http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_OpenGrADS_Bundle
The current release fixes a few bugs, adds HTML documentation and some new
features:
* you can now specify up to 256 different colors (the previous limit was 100
colors);
see attached plot.
* the extensions gxyat now includes the new command set_rgba which allows
you to
specify a transparency level (alpha channel) for each defined color.
* the original classic UDF regrid2(), written by Mike Fiorino in Fortran,
has been implemented
as a User Defined Extension, mostly as a device to fully test re(), a
replacement regrid
function written entirely in C. This release also includes minor bug fixes
in re().
See ChangeLog below for additional information.
The OpenGrADS extensions are replacements for the previous (classic) User
Defined Functions. These extensions are typically written in low level
programming languages such as C or Fortran. However, you can now write GrADS
expression functions using the GrADS scripting language. As an example, we
have implemented the Suomen Saakeskus (Finnish Weathercenter) collection of
thunderstorm related functions originally developed by Stefan Gofferje as
described in the following website:
http://www.saakeskus.fi/index.php
Documentation for these functions are found here:
http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/saakeskus/
For example, to plot the storm relative helicity in the first 3km of the
atmosphere using GFS data try
ga-> d srh3km(ugrdprs,vgrdprs)
BTW, the NOMADS Browser now includes a "Zoom in/out" option under the [Set
Dim] menu; give it a try.
Enjoy!

ChangeLog
2009-04-05 <dasilva at opengrads.org>, Version GrADS 2.0.a5.oga.4
* Added Steve Bloom's zooming scripts to merra/nomads GUIs
* Documentation.php: added
* doc/opengrads: added
* bundle/bundle_create.sh: docs now part of Bundle
* gagui.x: now Cmd call back expands %s into default var
* gacols.h: new defining file defining max number of colors;
the following files now make use of this information:
- gauser.c
- grads.h
- gxX.c
- gxeps.c
- gxgif.c
- gxps.c
- gxsubs.c
* gatypes.h: #ifdef so that it only gets included once
* gxudx.c: added function to update pst
* gxyat.c: expanded help for set_rgba, minor revisions
* extension/re/re.c: in short hand mode, default (1,1) is
no longer shifted by 1/2 delta lon, delta lat.
* acinclude.m4: when no supplibs are found, use ./null
* src/Makefile.am: again builds without the supplibs
