[gradsusr] GrADS tutorial--vertical cross section

Mayes, Fred Fred.Mayes at eia.gov
Wed Nov 13 09:01:25 EST 2013


I entered, as in the tutorial,
Clear
Set lon -90
Set lat -90 90
Set lev 1000 100
Set t 1

After the "Set t 1" command, I get "Time values set:  1987:1:1:0 1987:1:1:0".
When I execute the next command in the tutorial,
"d t", I get an error again. That "'t' not a variable or function name".  I did a "query file", and
T is not on the data set.  But obviously GrADS recognized it when I issued the command "Set t 1".

I did not knowingly open in batch mode, but assuming I am in batch mode, how to I exit it so I can get the display window?

You must be in batch mode, which does not open a display window. Did you use -b when you invoked GrADS ?

You probably have to update your copy of basemap.gs with the full path to the ascii files. 
--Jennifer
p.s. I recently wrote a doc page for basemap: http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/basemap.html

You have to quit GrADS and start again. Batch mode is enabled with the -b option on startup. Type 'grads -help' for more info. --Jennifer
