I am currently using PV-WAVE CL v3.1. And I have a 2-D array of 181 by 81(intervals between grid pts are 10m), with the values in this array ranging from -1m to about 7m. When I use shade_surf to view the surface, the routine transforms the data coordinates to normalized coordinates and display it(the 900m x 400m x 8m vol is squeezed into a 1x1x1 cube), which makes the display out of propotion. I have tried to set !x.s, !y.s and !z.s but seems that every time I call shade_surf, the routine reset these 3 values, I have also tried using 3td, but shade_surf will only work with 3td only if the transformed data is placed with the z-axis vertically on the screen.(I need a 3d output) Can anybody help me??

If you mena it always creates a window, yes this will happen bacause any plotting/surface/tv/etc routines needs a window to work from. You can however define a window in memory by doing something like the following: window,1,/pixmap surface,x this allows you to build pixmaps in the background (like a scratch pad) However if you mean the window always opens from an icon (don't think this actauly happens) then we need more info. Or do you mena that the window comes to the forground when you display something in it? If so, this sounds like something you set up in your environment (an X default, if your running X). hope this help, -stephen -- Stephen C Strebel / SKI TO DIE stl@maz.sma.ch / and Swiss Meteorological Institute, Zuerich / LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT 01 256 93 85 / (and pray for snow)
