PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
GDFRZL create a VG file that contains GFA FZLVL elements.
It draws contours from the grid and save the contours and
labels into a temporary vg file. The the elements in the vg
file are converted to GFA FZLVLs.
The only valid device is VG. For example:
DEVICE = VG|gfa.vgf
The default vg file is vgf.vgf.
The FHR parameter specifies the forecast hour of the GFA.
The Tag parameter is the GFA tag value.
The STAT parameter is the GFA issuing statues.
The LVLINCR parameter is used to round freezing level ranges.
The freezing level ranges are computed on the first run. The
following runs will use the same range information.
EXAMPLES
1. Create a VG file gfa.vgf that contains freezing levels
