Arlindo da Silva's opengrads has made great strides in incorporating many of the previously very useful UDFs used in GRads versions before 2.0.</div><div><br></div><div>One of these is Mike Fiorino's clhilo UDF package that plots actual H and L letters on maps. Has any progress been made to include this in the opengrads version of 2.0? </div><div><br></div><div>I know Mike has issued libmf.gex (<a href="http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/">http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/</a>) for version 2.0 opengrads, however, I don't see how it can be used to plot actual H an L on GRADS plots? </div><div><br></div><div>Any news on this would be greatly appreciated. We'd like to totally migrate to GRADS 2.0 but this is our last issue.</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks.</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><div><div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Kevin M Levey, MSc in Oceans and Atmospheric Sciences (University of Cape Town)</div><div>Director of Meteorological Operations</div><div>CustomWeather, Inc.</div><div>San Francisco, California, USA</div><div><br></div><div>"Taking the World by Storm!"</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.customweather.com">http://www.customweather.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.myforecast.com">http://www.myforecast.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.1stweather.com">http://www.1stweather.com</a></div><div><br></div><div>cell: 415-794-0411</div><div>work: 415-777-3566</div><div>email: <a href="mailto:klevey@customweather.com">klevey@customweather.com</a></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div><br><div><div>On May 28, 2009, at 05/28/09 - 12:17 PM, Arlindo da Silva wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 9:38 AM, Lisa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lisa.hryciw@gmail.com">lisa.hryciw@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Hi!
