Became metview/new at ECMWF on 2017-10-03 (Linux desktops, ecgate, lxc, lxg, lxop)
At ECMWF:
Hovmoeller: added new parameter to the Hovmoeller View icon: Time Axis Mode, which can be Automatic Forwards, Automatic Backwards or User.
Cross Section: added the ability to define a cross section line that goes directly over a pole. As an example, to define a line that goes South from lat=0, lon=-8 over the South pole and round to lat=0, lon=172, supply a line definition like this: [0, -8, -180, -8] (N,W,S,E). They key points in telling Metview to use a line that goes over a pole are that the longitude remains the same and that the second latitude is described as either greater than 90 or less than -90. The direction of the line is implicit: here, to go from 0 to “-180” involves travelling South.
Text Plotting: added new parameter to the Text Plotting icon: Text Orientation, which can take the values Horizontal (default), Top Bottom and Bottom Top.
Stations: use the latest WMO stations database
Stations: improved the way that station names are matched in the station lookup widget in the Stations editor
Macro: new Macro function called
percentile()was added to compute percentiles from a list of vectors
