This is a bug. I have a work around for you until we can get this fixed and released.When I open a browser session and access our LAS version 6..5.1at http://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/las/servlets/dataset, then select Land Surface, Land Mask, and either the 1 or 2.5 degree land mask datasets, I can produce a plot. If I then produce a plot from any other dataset with a date that differs from the land mask dataset, I get the following error: Illegal LimitsSorry ...There are no data available at 15-DEC-2004 00:00 The data begin at 30-DEC-2005 18:45 and continue to 30-JAN-2006 05:14 Please try again with a time that lies within this range. Content-disposition: inline; filename=LASoutput.html Content-length: 2385 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1Since there is only one dataset for each land mask, an arbitrary date was used to create each file. It appears that the second time I try to create the land mask plot, LAS uses the date from the dataset justplotted.I tried creating an init script by copying the std_initionalize.jnl to set the date to the correct (but arbitrary date), but failed to figure out what to enter.Is there an easy solution to this problem (other than closing thebrowser and starting again)?
In the data set definition for the data sets with only one fake time step, define the time axis using two <v> elements that contain the same value (the value of the fake time step). Say the file contains one time step at 1960-01-16 06:00:00:00, change the time axis definition to look like:
<TIME-t-id-5f6c212d6d type="t" units="day" display_hi="1960-01-16 06:00:00" display_lo="1960-01-16 06:00:00">
<v>1960-01-16 06:00:00:00</v> <v>1960-01-16 06:00:00:00</v> </TIME-t-id-5f6c212d6d>The display_lo and display_hi aren't working for an axis with only one time step, but that's what we'll fix so that you can go back to something like this:
<TIME-t-id-5f6c212d6d type="t" units="day" display_hi="1960-01-16 06:00:00" display_lo="1960-01-16 06:00:00">
<arange start="1960-01-16 06:00:00" size="1" step="1" /> </TIME-t-id-5f6c212d6d>and the time will set set to be in the display_hi and display_lo range automatically behind the scenes.
The down side is that the UI will display a time selector with this meaningless value, but it will guarantee that the correct time for that data set is always selected.
