<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear list<BR>
<BR>
I am a new user of the grads software and i run grads in slackware 10.2. I followed the instructions you wrote. They all work just fine for me i installed grads but when i write the command display the grads window does not show the selected data.<BR>
<BR>
these are the steps i followed(they are the same from grads tutorial) <BR>
<BR>
1)./gradsc<BR>
<BR>
2)open /root/Desktop/model_folder/model.ctl<BR>
<BR>
3)q file 1<BR>
it gave me the attributes of the data model <BR>
<BR>
File 1 : "Sample Model Data for GrADS Tutorial"<BR>
Descriptor: /root/Desktop/model_folder/model.ctl<BR>
Binary: /root/Desktop/model_folder/model.grb<BR>
Type = Gridded<BR>
Xsize = 72 Ysize = 46 Zsize = 7 Tsize = 5<BR>
Number of Variables = 8<BR>
ps 0 1 Surface pressure [hPa]<BR>
u 7 33 Eastward wind [m/s]<BR>
v 7 34 Northward wind [m/s]<BR>
z 7 7 Geopotential height [m]<BR>
t 7 11 Air Temperature [K]<BR>
q 7 51 Specific humidity [kg/kg]<BR>
ts 0 11 Surface (2m) air temperature [K]<BR>
p 0 59 Total precipitation rate [kg/(m^2*s)]<BR>
<BR>
d ps<BR>
Contouring: 500 to 1000 interval 50<BR>
<BR>
When i give the command d ps the surface temperature is not being displayed in the grads window. I used different variables but the mistake was the same. The grads window couldn't open it.<BR>
<BR>
Do you have a idea why i have this problem?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in Advance for your time<BR>
