- Lab 4:
- This lab will introduce you to using the
PLOT
command.
- What you need to do:
- Use

.
- Use
PLOT
to plot the file
original: http://nextmidas.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm
(currently unavailable)
alternate: file:///opt/midas/nxmlatest/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm
(where /opt/midas/nxmlatest is a softlink to your local nxm installation)
- Use
PLOT
to plot the world.shp
and cities.prm
files at the same time.
- With the plot still up from the previous exercise, use the middle mouse button
to disable the
cities

Can you figure out how to turn off the on-axis readout?
- Use the "Plotting Maps from a NeXtMidas Map Server (NMS)" section in the
PLOT
explain file to bring up a map of the world with the BLUEMARBLE background.
Use the server nextmidas.com
(currently unavailable) and the port 8080
(You need Internet access for this).
Hint: To get a full list of available VIEWs
look in the NeXtMidas API at the "MPlot" class , and look at documentation
for the viewList
field.
