Displaying Data in a WzSurface Tool
The default is to display the data as a regularly gridded fishnet (mesh) surface, looking down (from an angle) at the top of the surface, and using no skirt.
Before you can display a variable in a WzSurface Tool, the variable must already exist on the
$MAIN$ level of PV‑WAVE.
Use any of the following methods to display a variable in a WzSurface Tool:
Export a variable or selected data from another VDA Tool to a specified instance of the WzSurface Tool. To do this, use the
File=>Export Variable(s) or
File=>Export Selected Data function in the VDA Tool containing the variable.
Supply a variable name as a parameter to the WzSurface command. You can import a single 2D variable (
z) or provide additional
x and
y variables containing the
x and
y coordinates of the gridded
z data. See
Using Multiple Surface Variables for more information.
For example:
WAVE> WzSurface, snow data
where snow data is a variable on the $MAIN$ level of PV‑WAVE.
