<DIV>I just developed a plugin "Coastline2wmp" for MeteoInfo (it is free
avaliable at <A href="http://www.esnips.com/web/MeteoInfo" target=_blank><FONT
color=#0070af>http://www.esnips.com/web/MeteoInfo</FONT></A> ), so you can
convert the ASCII data downloaded from <A
href="http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast"
target=_blank>www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast</A> to wmp file which is an ASCII
map data file and can be plotted and coverted into GrADS map data format in
MeteoInfo. The plugin is attached. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Download and put it under the "Plugin" folder in the MeteoInfo install
directory. Then the plugin could be found and used in MeteoInfo software
(look attached "Costline2wmpPlugin.png"). After the wmp file
is created, it could be add as a layer. And then you can output the
layer to GrADS map data using "Output Map Data" menu (look attached
"Output2GrADS.png"). <BR></DIV>

<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I think it is working when we can use the draw
shp command with full path to the corresponding extracted shp file.
However, I found some discripancies in the border of several places. So,
I would be interested to use the coast line data from NOAA available at:
<A href="http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast"
target=_blank>www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast</A><BR></DIV>
<DIV>That could be extracted by setting appropriate lat/lon limit and
would be able to get in ASCII format. Could you say me how we can use
that while plotting (if possible). I would request other users also to
help in this direction and would be really thankful to you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>regards</DIV>
