<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Stephan (and other GrADS users)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It seems like a good option when you are talking
about 10 or 20 stations. But I want to produce maps that make use of hundreds of
stations. Finding all coordinates and creating this function will be very
time-consuming! I am starting to get the idea that it isnt possible in GrADS to
color values, which suprises me because so much is possible with
GrADS! Maybe a good idea to insert the option in a new version?!

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Jennifer,</FONT><BR><FONT size=2
face=sans-serif>Have you considered using 'set strsiz...', 'set string...',
and 'draw string...' to draw your values? You could create a
function that draws the plotted parameters in value-dependent colors, using
station x-y coordinates and wx parameter values as arguments. It may be
more time-consuming but should do the trick. Perhaps someone else out
there knows a more efficient way in GrADS,</FONT><BR><BR><FONT size=2

face=Arial>Hi Jennifer (and rest)</FONT><BR><FONT
size=3> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks you for your fast
reply! I never knew about this option. But unfortunately I dont wanna
plot the parameters as dots that represents the station location. I
want to plot parameters like temperature, rainfall, wind direction and
speed measured by the station as <B>values </B>(not as dots)
<B>and</B> control the colours of these parameters. If I "set gxout
value" then I can plot the values but I cannot color the colors
according to their value. Any new suggestions?? (I dont know if it is
allowed, but I added a file as an example what I
mean) </FONT><BR><FONT size=3> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2
