< p > AWIPS uses a hierarchical system known as < em > Localization< / em > to configure many aspects of EDEX and CAVE, such as available menu items, color maps, and derived parameters. This system allows a user to override existing configurations and customize CAVE. For example, a < em > User-level< / em > localization file will supercede any similar file in a lower level (such as < em > Workstation< / em > or < em > Site< / em > ).< / p >

< p > The Localization Perspective acts as file editor for the XML, Python, and text files which customize the look and feel of CAVE. < / p >
< p > Users may copy and add files to available directories at the < em > Workstation< / em > and < em > User< / em > levels.< / p >
< p > Examples of things that can be accessed through the perspective include (this list is not all-inclusive):< / p >
< ul >
< li >
< p > NCP Predefined Areas, Color Maps and Style Rules< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > D2D Volume Browser Controls< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > D2D Bundles - Scales (WFO, State(s), etc.)< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > CAVE Map Overlays, Color Maps and Style Rules< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > GFE Tools and Utilities< / p >
< / li >
< / ul >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_1.png" / > < / p >
< p > The left panel contains a directory heirarchy of CAVE files for D2D, GFE, and NCP, which can be copied and edited as < em > user< / em > localization files.< / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_2.jpg" / > < / p >
< p > There may be several versions of each file including < strong > BASE< / strong > , < strong > CONFIGURED< / strong > (GFE only), < strong > SITE< / strong > , < strong > WORKSTATION< / strong > , and < strong > USER< / strong > . Each file version is listed separately under the actual file name.< / p >
< p > The < strong > < em > File Editor< / em > < / strong > view opens the selected configuration file in an appropriate editor. For example, a Python file is opened in a Python editor, and an XML file is opened in an XML editor.< / p >

< h2 id = "customizing-cave-menus" > Customizing CAVE Menus< a class = "headerlink" href = "#customizing-cave-menus" title = "Permanent link" > < / a > < / h2 >
< p > Navigate to < strong > CAVE< / strong > > < strong > Menus< / strong > and select a submenu (e.g. < strong > satellite< / strong > ). This directory lists all of the menu file contributions made by this data plugin. Most data menu directories will have an < code > index.xml< / code > file from which you can investigate the menu structure and made needed changes. < / p >
< p > Selecting a file such as < strong > index.xml< / strong > will show a sub-menu with a default localization level (typically < strong > BASE< / strong > or < strong > CONFIGURED< / strong > ). Double-click this tab to open in the file editor (you may need to click < strong > Source< / strong > at the bottom of the view to see the raw XML). Right-click this tab and select < strong > Copy To< / strong > > < strong > User (awips)< / strong > and you will see the file localization versions update with the new copy. Select this file to edit, and override, the existing version.< / p >

< h2 id = "add-new-predefined-area-to-ncp" > Add new Predefined Area to NCP< a class = "headerlink" href = "#add-new-predefined-area-to-ncp" title = "Permanent link" > < / a > < / h2 >
< p > In the Localization Perspective, navigate to ‘ < strong > NCEP - Predefined Area Menus< / strong > ’ ‘ < strong > AreaMenus.xml< / strong > ’ ‘ < strong > BASE< / strong > ’ ‘ < strong > Copy To - User< / strong > ’ < strong > Desk< / strong > or < strong > Workstation< / strong > localization.< / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_4.png" / > < / p >
< p > You will see a new ‘ < strong > USER (username)< / strong > ’ < strong > ‘ ’ < / strong > entry for the file < strong > AreaMenus.xml< / strong > . < / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_5.png" / > < / p >
< p > Double-click the new file and copy or create a new AreaMenuItem entry, such as a new CONUS Mercator projection called < strong > CONUS_Mercator< / strong > :< / p >
< pre > < code > < AreaMenuItem subMenuName="" menuName="CONUS (Mercator)">
< source> PREDEFINED_AREA< /source>
< areaName> CONUS_Mercator< /areaName>
< /AreaMenuItem>
< / code > < / pre >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_6.png" / > < / p >
< p > Now you can either copy and post an existing xml area file, or simple create one in the NCP. Switch back to the NCP, and select ‘ < strong > Area - World< / strong > ’ ‘ < strong > File - Save Area< / strong > ’ < strong > CONUS_Mercator< / strong > so it matches the name string given in the above AreaMenuItem.< / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_7.png" / > < / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_8.png" / > < / p >
< p > You can switch back to the Localization Perspective to confirm that the file was saved. It will be viewable under < strong > NCEP - Predefined Areas< / strong > and, in this example, be called < strong > CONUS_Mercator.xml< / strong > .< / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_9.png" / > < / p >
< p > CAVE needs to be restarted in order for the new menu item to show up under the NCP < strong > Area< / strong > menu.< / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_10.png" / > < / p >
< p > Switch to the new Area to confirm.< / p >
< p > < img alt = "image alt text" src = "../../images/image_11.png" / > < / p >
< p > On your workstation you can find the new USER localization files in ~/caveData< / p >
< pre > < code > find ~/caveData -name CONUS_Mercator.xml
