At the moment the files generated are at 100% opacity which is not very useful for overlaying onto Google maps. Google KML files have their colours defined as AARRGGBB where AA = Alpha (from 00 to FF). Doing a search and replace of the generated KML with a PHP script for <color>ff to <color>77 for example will do it for now, but would be great to be able to do it from GRADS itself.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The 2<sup>nd</sup> request is with maskout – It would be awesome if the boxy results produced by maskout could be smoothed using csmooth – it just looks really strange when having smooth filled contours and then a jagged edge around it from using maskout.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers, Mike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
