Re: [Xastir] .xbm done for DENSE_FOG plus other info...
Jason, I can redo the .xbm's to allow for the dithering and proper stacking. The ones that I created were built to fill in the gaps. I can go through them and make sure that they will properly stack and not obliterate. Something to do while in my lazyboy listening to classical music enjoying a week off from the salt mines. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO Jason Winningham wrote: On Aug 6, 2007, at 6:24 AM, Eric H Christensen wrote: Shouldn't there be a way to prioritize them?

Re: [Xastir] .xbm done for DENSE_FOG plus other info...
Time of issue. A SVR will invariably be issued for an area prior to a
TOR. A TOR and SVR are both short-term and short-fuse warnings.
Service messages can screw with this logic, however.
In the new scheme of warnings, the smaller polygon-based Storm Based
Warnings should show up as smaller discrete areas.
Non-severe warnings (high wind, fog, fire danger, etc) are longer-term
and less significant (how ever a warning can be "less" significant)
warnings.
gerry

Just completed the .xbm for DENSE_FOG.
Now this message and HEAT (ADVIS and WARN) both appear to use the zone
areas...

Re: [Xastir] .xbm done for DENSE_FOG plus other info...
Eric,
The code, from what I see, can be prioritized. Last night, I had two up
at once over Chicago - Svr Tstorm and Tornado. If they can be
consistently layered, the need for priority goes out the window. The
layering would allow for showing all warnings that are active for the area.
