MET Online Tutorial for METv8.0 | Plot-MODE-Field > Output

In this example, Plot-MODE-Field visualizes simple objects from an observed precipitation field using parameters from the configuration file PlotModeFieldConfig_tutorial which is indicated by the output file naming convention, _obj_obs_simple.

Display the output PNG file by running the following command:

display $MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/plot_mode_field/mode_240000L_20050808_000000V_120000A_obj_obs_simple.png &

Feel free to rerun this example to plot other fields. Switch -obs to -fcst for forecast data or -simple to -cluster or -raw.

In this example, we passed a single NetCDF MODE output file to Plot-MODE-Field. However, when you pass it multiple files on the command line it creates a plot for each.
