- Lab 4 (solution):
- Here is what you should have done:
- Use
PLOT to plot the file apenny.prm .
nM> plot apenny.prm
- Use
PLOT to plot the file
http://nextmidas.techma.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm .
nM> plot http://nextmidas.techma.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm
- Use
PLOT to plot the world.shp and cities.prm
files at the same time.
nM> plot world|cities
- 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 cities layer: 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.techma.com and the port 8080
(You need Internet access for this).
nM> plot {LT="NMS",URL="http://nextmidas.techma.com:8080/nms/",BACKGROUND="BLUEMARBLE"}|&
world.shp{LAYER={LABEL="NAME",OPAQ=0}} view=latlon
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
