Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Working with Files Lab 4 Solution
- - 1. | Lab 4 (solution): Here is what you should have done: Use `PLOT` to plot the file `apenny.prm`.
           nM> plot apenny.prm
    2. 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)
           original: nM> plot http://nextmidas.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm
           alternative: nM> plot /opt/midas/nxmlatest/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm
    3. Use `PLOT` to plot the `world.shp` and `cities.prm` files at the same time.
           nM> plot world|cities
    4. With the plot still up from the previous exercise, use the middle mouse button to disable the `cities` layer. Now enable the layer. Can you figure out how to turn off the on-axis readout?
           To toggle the enable for the citieslayer: Press the MMB inside the plot, select
           LAYERS->CITIES->ENABLE->GLOBAL
           To turn off the on-axis readout: Press the MMB select
           READOUT->ONAXIS
    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).
        nM> plot {LT="NMS",URL="http://nextmidas.com:8080/nms/",BACKGROUND="BLUEMARBLE"}|&
                       world.shp{LAYER={LABEL="NAME",OPAQ=0}} view=latlon
    6. `PLOT apenny` in the background. Then use the `FEATURE` command to place a box around Lincoln's nose.
           nM> plot apenny /bg
           nM> FEATURE,NAME=,LABEL=myfeature,TABLE={NAME=XXX,TYPE=BOX,X=89.2,Y=64.2,DX=20,DY=20},PLOT=plot
