GPOINT
GPOINT is the grid location to be used for the plot. The value can
be entered in the following ways:
1. station numeric or character identifier
2. a latitude and longitude pair separated with a semicolon
3. @ followed by a grid x and y coordinate pair separated
with a semicolon. The grid x and y coordinate pair will not
change even the navigation is changed.
4. a CPF file name with optional path. The CPF file must
contain only one valid latitude/longitude pair.
5. Graphically using the CURSOR command.
If necessary, the grid data will be interpolated using a
bilinear interpolation to the point specified.
Examples:
GPOINT = @1;1.5 Grid point (1,1.5)
GPOINT = 30;-120 Grid point at 30 latitude and
-120 longitude
GPOINT = 5;5 Grid point at 5 latitude and
5 longitude. Note that this is
probably an error and the input
should have been @5;5
GPOINT = BWI Point located at Baltimore-Washington
International Airport.
GPOINT = nmap2.cpf CPF file containing a valid latitude
longitude pair.
