I'm creating wind maps using the MAP, VECTOR, and COLORBAR and LEGEND functions, and I'm using them to build wind animations. THE PROBLEM: I cannot standardize the color bar and sample vector length across multiple wind maps. EXAMPLE-MAP-1 EXAMPLE-MAP-2 I'm using the TARGET option with COLORBAR to set the range: cbar = COLORBAR(TARGET=wind_vectors, blah) ... so, I cannot use the RANGE=[min,max] option with COLORBAR. Also, the LEGEND sample vector change size from map to map. I'm using: sample_vector= LEGEND(SAMPLE_MAGNITUDE=50, blah) I have also tried using a 'fake, fixed' maximum wind speed. My winds have a maximum allowable wind speed, so I added a 'dummy' data value that is larger than any of my winds. This means I will have a known MIN and MAX (say, 0 and 100 m/s) in my wind speed data. This approach has worked for me before, but it does not work when I use the TARGET option with COLORBAR. So, how do I standardize the COLORBAR range and the LEGEND sample vector across multiple wind maps when the wind speeds may have different min/max from one map to the next? I appreciate any advice. PD
