;+ ; NAME: ; WINDBARB ; ; PURPOSE: ; ; This is routine for drawing wind barbs on a map. ; ; AUTHOR: ; ; FANNING SOFTWARE CONSULTING ; David Fanning, Ph.D. ; 1645 Sheely Drive ; Fort Collins, CO 80526 USA ; Phone: 970-221-0438 ; E-mail: david@idlcoyote.com ; Coyote's Guide to IDL Programming: http://www.idlcoyote.com ; ; CATEGORY: ; Graphics. ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; ; Windbarb, x, y, speed, direction ; ; REQUIRED INPUTS: ; ; x: The X location of the wind barb, expressed in data coordinates. ; Positive X is pointing in EAST direction. ; ; y: The Y location of the wind barb, expressed in data coordinates. ; Positive Y is pointing in NORTH direction. ; ; speed: The wind speed, expressed in knots. ; ; direction: The wind direction in degrees clockwise from north. Winds from ; the NE come at 45 degrees, and the wind "arrow" points in the ; direction from which the window is blowing. (The wind arrow ; points in the direction of the station circle, with the "barbs" ; of the arrow at the end of the arrow from which the wind is coming.) ; ; KEYWORDS: ; ; ASPECT: The aspect ratio of the map or plot in the display window. ; ; CLIP: A four-element array in normalized coordinates [x0,y0,x1,y1] giving ; the lower-left and upper-right corner of a cliping rectangle. This ; is normally the extent of your plot. See the example below. ; ; COLOR: The name of the color to draw the wind barbs in. May be a vector ; the same length as X. ; ; LENGTH: The approximate length of the wind barb in normalized coordinates. ; Will be set to 0.066 of the plot distance in the X direction by default. ; ; MAP_ROTATION: The clockwise rotation in degrees of the map North from the ; top of the plot. Will be set to 0.0 by default. ; ; SOUTHERN_HEMISPHERE: Windbarb "feathers" are traditionally drawn in the clockwise ; direction in the northern hemispere and countercolockwise in the ; southern hemisphere. Default is "northern" type feathers. Set this ; keyword to select "southern" type feathers. ; ; STATION: Set this keyword if you want to draw the wind barbs with station symbols. ; (Requires STATIONPLOT from the Coyote Library.) ; ; RESTRICTIONS: ; ; Requires cgColor and STATIONPLOT from the Coyote Library: ; ; http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/cgColor.pro ; http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/stationplot.pro ; ; EXAMPLE: ; ; cgDisplay, Title='Wind Barbs', /Free ; seed = -3L ; lon = Randomu(seed, 60) * 360 - 180 ; lat = Randomu(seed, 60) * 180 - 90 ; speed = Randomu(seed, 60) * 50 + 5.0 ; direction = Indgen(60)*25 ; cgColorfill,[0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9, 0.1], [0.1, 0.9, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1], /Normal, Color='light gray' ; cgMap_Set, /Cylindrical, Position=[0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9], Color='Steel Blue', /NoErase ; cgMap_Grid, Color='Charcoal' ; cgMap_Continents, Color='Sea Green' ; Windbarb, lon, lat, speed, direction, Length=0.025, /Station, Color='Indian Red', /Southern_Hemisphere ; ; To clip the windbards that fall outside the plot, substitute these two lines ; for the last line in the example above: ; ; clip = [0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9] ; Windbarb, lon, lat, speed, direction, /Station, Color='Indian Red', Clip=clip ; ; MODIFICATION HISTORY: ; ; Written by: David W. Fanning, 20 May 2003. ; It has been called to my attention that the wind barbs are pointing ; in *exactly* the wrong direction. Sigh... Rotated by 180 degrees. DWF. 8 June 2004. ; Now someone complains that the *corrected* version is off by 180 degrees! Sheesh! ; Clearly, I'm no meteorologist. Both lines of code are in the file. Please use the one ; you like the best. :-) (Line 177-178) 20 July 2004. DWF. ; Added a CLIP keyword so you can clip the output to the extend of your graphics plot. 12 Nov 2004. DWF. ; Added THICK keyword 23 February 2005. DWF. ; After further research, I've reverted to the direction specified originally. ; And I have changed the "feathers" to point clockwise normally, and counterdlockwise ; if the SOUTHERN_HEMISPHERE keyword is set. Here are my sources (21 July 2005. DWF): ; http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/maps/sfcobs/wnd.rxml ; http://www.al.noaa.gov/WWWHD/pubdocs/windbarb.html ; Fixed a small CLIP problem. 21 July 2005. DWF. ; Shaft of wind barbs not extending all the way to starting point. Fixed. 27 Mar 2014.
