PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
GDMAP plots data computed from GEMPAK grid files on a map.
Data may be plotted in any valid GEMPAK projection and
may be overlaid on images.
A list of times may be given in GDATTIM allowing animation
of the data plots.
The variable, POSN, is used to select the position for the
data relative to the grid point using the following position
numbers:
7
1 3
2 0 4
5 6
8
Position 0 will plot data centered at the station. If an
invalid position number is entered, position 0 will be used.
The variable, SCALE, is used to scale the data by 10 ** SCALE.
The data will be scaled and then rounded to the nearest
integer before it is plotted.
SKIP specifies the number of grid points to skip when displaying
the data. For example, SKIP = 1 displays data at every other
grid point in each coordinate direction. SKIP = 0 displays all
points.
If GRDLBL is not 0, the grid point row and column numbers will be
displayed using the color number specified. The grid rows and
columns will be centered on the plot area.
A map and title may also be included.
EXAMPLES
1. Plot the dewpoint depression at 850 mb in color 3 at
position 0. The data will be plotted at every point
for an area centered on Nebraska. The row and column
labels will be plotted in color 17. The title will be
written in color 1.

2. Do not clear the screen and replot the same function
in color 7, for the same area. The minimum value to
plot is set to 10 in CINT. The text of the title
is changed to reflect the colored values.
