I remember testing the line color, but never really the line thickness.
It needs to be fixed.</font><br><br><font size=3>2) About the object option, I'll let Graziano answer this
one. When you do not specify an object, the code loops over *all* objects

with no problem. I'm glad to see it now includes shapefile functionality.
However, contrary to the included documentation, using the 'set line...'
option appears to have no effect on either line style or thickness--just
color. Unlike the default map drawing, the shapefile boundaries (when using
shp_lines) appear much too heavy for some uses, especially on screen and
for large geographical areas. I did have "mpdraw" set to off,
as instructed. I tried image output with both primtim and gxyat, with similar
results (that is, no change in line style or thickness). Example of what
I did after opening model.ctl:</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'set mpdraw off'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'set line 4 1 1'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'shp_lines admin98'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">[image displayed as expected, other
than polygon line thickness]</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'gxyat c:\wx\out\shptest1.png'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'set line 4 3 6'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'shp_lines admin98'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">[image displayed same as previous image]</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'gxyat c:\wx\out\shptest2.png'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">[identical to shptest1.png]</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It would be very useful to be able to
control line style/thickness. Perhaps another user can confirm what I got.
Assuming it works for you, do you have any suggestions?</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Also, could you point me to an example
or two on how to use the shapefile "object" option. Do I have
to create a separate shapefile object, or are there objects within the
included admin98 shape files (for example). If so, how do I specify one
or more objects?</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks--</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Stephen McMillan</font><br><br><br><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td width=40%><font size=1 face="sans-serif"><b>Arlindo da Silva <</b></font><a href=mailto:dasilva@ALUM.MIT.EDU><font size=1 color=blue face="sans-serif"><b><u>dasilva@ALUM.MIT.EDU</u></b></font></a><font size=1 face="sans-serif"><b>></b></font><br><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Sent by: </font><a href=mailto:GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT><font size=1 color=blue face="sans-serif"><u>GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT</u></font></a><br><br><font size=1 face="sans-serif">04/06/2008 12:17 PM</font><br><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td width=100% bgcolor=white><div align=center><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Please respond to</font><br><a href=mailto:GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT><font size=1 color=blue face="sans-serif"><u>GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT</u></font></a></div></table><br><br><td width=59%><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td width=25%><div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">To</font></div><td width=74%><a href=mailto:GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT><font size=1 color=blue face="sans-serif"><u>GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT</u></font></a><tr valign=top><td><div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">cc</font></div><td><tr valign=top><td><div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Subject</font></div><td><font size=1 face="sans-serif">New Win32 Release of GrADS v1.9.0-rc1</font></table><br><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td width=50%><td width=50%></table><br><br></table><br><br><br><br><font size=3>All,</font><br><br><br><font size=3> I just uploaded to </font><a href=http://sf.net><font size=3 color=blue><u>sf.net</u></font></a><font size=3>a
