[gradsusr] Getting Transparent/user defined color kml poly files

[Jennifer M Adams]

Hi, Itesh —
I added support for transparent colors in the KML output in the new release (version 2.1.0).

Itesh,

from an old piece of grads code, try this (untested).

The lines below  produce contoured areas with symbols
so “it looks like” a transparency plot, which still makes sense when you over-plot in
certain areas (see attached example).

thresh=5
diff=climate-case_study    # you need to define your variable to plot somehwere
define dry= const(maskout(diff,diff-'thresh'),2)'
'set grads off'
'set gxout contour'
'set warn off'
'set clopts 'colourdry' 3 1'
'set cstyle 1'

'set rgb 67 200  60  60'    # define any colour you like by RGB values
colourdry=67
'set ccolor 'colourdry
'set clab off'
'set clevs 1'
* define values 1 where you don't want to shade area
* and draw one single contour in bespoke colour.

'd const(dry,1,-u)'
* repeat!  Honestly, first time around it does not work.
say 'set ccolor 'colourdry
'set ccolor 'colourdry
'set clab off'
'set clevs 1'
'd const(dry,1,-u)'

Subject: [gradsusr] Getting Transparent/user defined color kml poly files

Dear All,

I am trying to export the rainfall output  to kml file to be able to plot in google map. I could do it easily with the set gxout kml with the -poly option.

The issue is, I want to set a transparent color or user defined color for the contours instead of the standard color. Though I can change the color codes manually, its not feasible for a large file. Can anybody help me on this.

What I could fine from the forum is this

http://gradsusr.org/pipermail/gradsusr/2011-September/031100.html

Which is not very clear how to set the transparency or use define color.

Regards,
Itesh
