The way to confirm new things in VAPOR v 2.5
Hi, again. I just want to ask you how can I confirm the Improved cartographic maps for ocean data. I think there isn't big difference between v 2.4.2 and v 2.5. (I don't want to blame on you, but I just purely wondered.) When I used the Vapor v 2.4.2, I used the BigBlueMarbleNoOcean.tiff to see the ocean values, but now the Vapor v 2.5, just select the BigBlueMarble.tms and click the 'Ignore Image Transparency' check box in image tab. After then...it is as same as v 2.4.2 when selected BigBlueMarbleNoOcean.tiff.! I am confused... 'this check box should have created just applying the map easily for ocean data?'...?! And therefore subtitle is 'improved cartographic maps for ocean data' ?? I also visualized DVR, barbs, ect in VAPOR but it is just same as the VAPOR v 2.4.2..! But I don't know whether this is because of my low computer graphics problem or not. Please let me know your opinion about my situation.

pearse

The BigBlueMarble.tms image adapts its resolution according to the size of the image within your domain.  If you reduce the size of the map image, the resolution should improve.  Perhaps this should be a user-controlled feature.

Sorry, I think you didn't understand my questions. But thanks for answering my question. I had always tried to divide sentences by paragraph, but it never applied. This is another problem, I think. Anyway, my question is about improved cartographic maps for ocean data. I wanted to confirm before and after upgrading, so I downloaded VAPOR v2.5 and followed the description to apply new things. I selected the BlueMarble.tms file and surprised by high resloution maps. But I wondered whether I correctly understand this new function or not. When I used the VAPOR v2.4.2, I should select BigBlueMarbleNoOcean.tiff to see ocean values. But this time, I should select BigBlueMarble.tms and check the 'Ignore Image Transparency' check box to see ocean values. Then the improved cartographic ocean maps and check box to turn on or off the transparency is added. Am I right?
