relative mode which is defined by "yes" or "no".
<p><b><tt>TemporalEditorAbsoluteEditMode = no</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="TemporalEditorStatisticsMode"></a><font size="+1">Temporal
Editor Statistics Mode</font></h4>
Initial statistics mode for temporal editor range statistics dialog.
Choices are "ABSOLUTE", # "MODERATED", or "STANDARD_DEVIATION".
<p><b><tt>TemporalEditorStatisticsMode = "ABSOLUTE"</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="TemporalEditorStatisticsModeScales"></a><font size="+1">Temporal
Editor Statistics Mode Scales</font></h4>
Initial minimum and maximum values for scales on temporal editor range
statistics dialog in moderated and stadard deviation operation modes
(dialog is not shown in absolute mode). Do NOT include a decimal point
for moderated mode values, you MUST include a decimal point for standard
deviation values.
<p><b><tt>TemporalEditorStatisticsModeModeratedMin = 15<br>
TemporalEditorStatisticsModeModeratedMax = 15<br>
TemporalEditorStatisticsModeStandardDeviationMin = 1.0<br>
TemporalEditorStatisticsModeStandardDeviationMax = 1.0</tt></b><br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="WindEditMode"></a><font size="+1">Wind Edit Mode</font></h4>
Default setting for editing components of vector parameters. Choices
are
MAG, DIR, or BOTH.
<p><b><tt>WindEditMode = "BOTH"</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="WeatherCombine/ReplaceMode"></a><font size="+1">Weather
Combine/Replace
Mode</font></h4>
Default setting for automatic combining of existing weather/discrete
and new weather/discrete
when editing. For example, if the setting is yes and existing weather
is
Rain, then setting the value to Snow will result in a Rain/Snow mix.
For
discrete, if you setting is yes and the existing discrete value is
HiWndWRN, then setting the value to WntStmWRN will result in
values of HiWndWRN with WntStmWRN.
<p><b><tt>WeatherDiscreteCombineMode = no</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="MissingDataMode"></a><font size="+1">Missing Data Mode</font></h4>
Default setting for Missing Data Mode. Possible values are: 'Stop'
execution
of a smart tool if there is missing data and 'Skip' grids for which
there
is missing data. A User Alert message will report which grids were
skipped.
<br>
A 'Create' instructs the GFE to supply the missing data grids. A User
Alert message will report which grids were created.
<p><b><tt>MissingDataMode = "Stop"</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="ShowWarningDialogs"></a><font size="+1">Show Warning
Dialogs</font></h4>
Default setting for showing the dialog box when the user attempts to
edit
grids when a selection time range is active. Editing grids when a
selection
time range is active may cause multiple grids to be edited.
<p><b><tt>ShowTimeRangeWarning = yes</tt></b>
</p>
<p>Default setting for showing the dialog box when the user attempts to
edit grids without an edit area being set. The behavior is to edit the
entire domain.
</p>
<p><b><tt>ShowEmptyEditAreaWarning = yes</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="DefaultContourtoGridAlgorithm"></a><font size="+1">Default
Contour
to Grid Algorithm</font></h4>
Specifies the default contour to grid algorithm. Can be set to "Contour
Analyzer" or "Internal SIRS Server".
<p><b><tt>ContourServer = "Contour Analyzer"</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="ContourSubsample"></a><font size="+1">Contour Sub-sample</font></h4>
The Contour Analyzer algorithm can run over a sub-sampled grid
to improve performance. This is usually ok since the contour tool
is mostly used where there is not much detail due to topography.
The value of ContourSubSample is used to divide the x and y dimensions
of the original grid to get the dimensions of the sub-sampled grid.
So, setting ContourSubSample to 4 would cause the Contour Analyzer to
reduce a 400x400 grid to a 100x100 grid for contouring purposes.
This can greatly speed up the algorithm. Setting ContourSubSample to
1 will cause no reduction.
The default value is 4. If ContourSubSample is set to a value less than
or equal to 0 then it will go back to 4. If it is set to a value large
enough to make the sub-sampled grid have an x or y dimension less than 5
then it will be reduced so that the minimum dimension for x or y will be 5.
<p><b><tt>ContourSubSample = 4</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="SelectGridsWhenStepping"></a><font size="+1">Select Grids
When Stepping</font></h4>
Specifies whether the selection time range will track the spatial
editor
time when time stepping.&nbsp; Time stepping is accomplished using the
<a href="Toolbar.html#StepBack">Toolbar
step forward and back buttons</a> or the <a href="keys.html">keyboard
shortcuts</a>.&nbsp;
When this preference is enabled (i.e., yes), the selection time range
will
be set to:
<blockquote><li>the one hour period surrounding the spatial editor
time, if there is no
active weather element, or</li>
<li>the time constraint box for the active weather element, if there
is no
grid that intersects the spatial editor time, or</li>
<li>the valid time of the grid for the active weather element that
intersects
the spatial editor time.</li>
</blockquote>
In addition, all weather elements except the active weather element
will
be deselected.
<p>When this preference is disabled (i.e., no), the selection time
range,
and the set of selected weather elements will not change when using the
<a href="Toolbar.html#StepBack">GFE
toolbar stepping buttons</a> and <a href="keys.html">keyboard
shortcuts.</a>
</p>
<p><b><tt>SelectGridsWhenStepping = no</tt></b> <br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="TimeScaleDisplayedPeriods"></a><font size="+1">Time Scale
Displayed
Periods</font></h4>
Specifies the list of named selection time ranges&nbsp; that appear on
the Time Scale.&nbsp; The user may change the list through the
GFE-&gt;Viewing
Preferences-&gt;Time Scale Periods... menu entry.&nbsp; The definitions
of
the time scale periods may also be changed through the GFE-&gt;Define
Time
Ranges menu.
<p><b><tt>TimeScalePeriods = ['Today', 'Tomorrow', 'Tomorrow Night',
'Day
3',</tt></b>
<br>
<b><tt>&nbsp; 'Day 4', 'Day 5', 'Day 6', 'Day 7']</tt></b><br>
<br>
</p>
<h4><a name="ContourColor"></a><font size="+1">Contour Tool
Representative Color<br>
</font></h4>
Specifies the display color for the contour tool's contour
display.&nbsp; Default is "White".<br>
<p><b><tt>ContourToolDrawing_color = "White"</tt></b></p>
<b><tt><br>
<br>
</tt></b>
<h4><a name="DrawingColor"></a><big>Move/Copy, Select Area, Contour
Drawing Color</big></h4>
Specifies the display color for the drawing aspect for the move/copy,
select area, and contour drawing tools.&nbsp; Default is "White".<br>
<p><b><tt>Drawing_color = "White"</tt></b></p>
