[gradsusr] Time Series Plot

[Heiner Körnich]

Hi Brian,

have a look at how the grads-binary files are organized.
http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html

<http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html>The loop goes first
over the x, y,z,VARS, and then time. So, you have to order your data in the
right order:

1.level, 1.time
1.level, 2.time
...
1.level, last time
2.level, 1.time
2.level, 2.time
...


It seems to me more natural to use the z-coordinate for the sub-surface
levels, and the time axis for the time, but I guess you have some plans with
your setup.

Regards,
Heiner
