Catching up after 3 weeks or so of spotty e-mail and just plain too much
work. I've gotta fix it as it's now attracted some other attention. I
couldn't figure out what was causing the problem, but could confirm that
there was one. You're talents allowed coding around it. Other users
aren't

The real distressing problem here is, we don't change anything and the
background changes. We have a cron-job that always runs the same code
the same way, every 2 minutes. We flog the out of it and the CPU
and create several different formats.
Until Gerry can find the source of the seemingly random changes in background
color produced by the weather radar script, the best you can do is to edit
the WMSRadar.geo file to change the TRANSPARENT value. If it's 0x010101
then change it to 0x00 (or vice-versa). It might fix the map.

The script that generates the weather images at the server seems to have some
kind of bug where it occasionally changes the color value of the background
pixels from 0x00 to 0x010101 and back without warning. Xastir can handle

Hmmm... We _could_ change that by adding a fixed length table or a
linked list of transparent values found in the .geo. This would
slow down the rendering code a bit if there were several values
listed, but it doesn't sound terribly difficult to add

Yeah, I figured that out, but never bothered. The real issue to be fixed is
with Gerry's server, which should be using a consistent value for the
transparent background --- that value is even specified in the WMS URL,
but is clearly not being done right.

Done. Unlimited TRANSPARENT lines can be used now. I tweaked
WMSRadar.geo to make two blacks and white transparent now too.
Latest CVS.
This is a good thing. Now we can also use radar images that have roads and
other labels on them and

Silly question, if you want a raw radar overlay, why

Well that exactly what I do. But more choice is

This is true, I guess I'm not seeing what these other
radar sources are providing over the NWS radars. I'm
also not in front of my machine right now
Here is what I use to grab NWS CONUS Ridge radar map:

Outside the US, virtually all radar are fee-for-service products.
Further, with the exception of some Korean (South Korean!) sites that
now have WSR-88d's and openRPGs, very few radar systems produce anything
that's more than remotely compatible with the systems we use. I've been
trying to
Not sure what I did, IF I did it, but tonight when I try to load
weather maps
on top of tiger maps, the whole thing turns black with station icons on top.
Are the weather map sites down? Or have I created a problem locally?
Thanks,
Earl
