Launch the IDV GUI, and capture views of it

To launch the IDV linked to this notebook, type showIdv().


In [1]:
showIdv()


3D [dev] 1.6.0-pre9-daily-experimental daily

Now you can load any bundle, on local disk or URL.

For a local file, just put its name in loadBundle('/path/mybundle.xidv'). For a Mapes IDV collection bundle, find it at http://bit.ly/Mapes_IDV. Copy the URL into the loadBundle('My_bundle_URL') command, and change "show" to "get" in the URL as seen below:


In [5]:
loadBundle('http://weather.rsmas.miami.edu/repository/entry/get?entryid=8bc7c055-ca2c-4533-93cf-604db757b128')


<bundle  file="http://weather.rsmas.miami.edu/repository/entry/get?entryid=8bc7c055-ca2c-4533-93cf-604db757b128" ></bundle>

Ready for action!

Work the GUI, and capture the view any time with showImg()


In [6]:
showImg()


This would be a good place for a caption

How about an animation? Write it as a .gif


In [7]:
writeMovie('MyMovie.gif')



Then import it with another line
