<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am new to Grads so please excuse me in adavnce if
my questions are too "naiv".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have finally succeeded in creating a station .map
file from the "famous" example available in the Grads literature
rain.ctl.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I load the file (which contains just a
variable p for precipitation and 2 or 3 samples relative to 4
stations) in Grads and try to display something I get the world map with nothing
else. Setting gxout to shaded (my final wish is to obtain a shaded plot
interpolating rainfall data among several stations) nothing changes. Which are
the correct commands to use ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second question: in case I will switch to real
data, I will have my stations far away each other just a few chilometers. Will
Grads display automatically the map relative (and zoomed to) my stations
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot for your help and
understanding,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>regards,</FONT></DIV>
