Version 5.19.0

• Externally released on 2023-04-04

• Installed as part of ecmwf-toolbox/2023.04.0.0 (Atos HPC)

Plot window

• added location label to the bottom right corner (in the statusbar) displaying the coordinates at the mouse cursor position. It can be shown/hidden by using the Show location label action in the View menu. Visible by default.

  

• added new action Reset cursor data to the Tools menu to move back the cursor data to the middle of the view. It is particularly useful when the cursor data is accidentally moved out of the view and we cannot interact with it any more.

• changed the order how the current coordinates are displayed in the cursor data in geographical views. In the new version latitude comes first followed by longitude.

Macro/Python

• surrounding_points_indexes(): fixed issue when wrong results were generated when target longitude was less than 0 for reduced Gaussian grids in GRIB2 data

User interface

• Macro Editor: improved vertical and horizontal space usage in help sidebar. The sidebar now stretches along the full vertical extent and its minimum horizontal extent is significantly reduced. As a further improvement the size of the lower and upper part of the parameter selector (available only for icon functions in the sidebar) can now be controlled with a vertical splitter.

  

• Icon Editors: line style parameters now show preview pixmaps of the available styles

  

• Icon Editors: fixed issue when widgets were misaligned in weather symbol editors

• Icon Drawers: fixed issue when cannot add icons to newly created drawers

Cross section

• Fixed issue when no data was generated when vertical_scaling was set to “log” and level_selection_type was set to “count” in mcross_sect() or mxsectview()
