#!EC #!N #!N The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Map #!EF module maps one field 
of data onto another. The field to be mapped  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   to 
#!EF is the first parameter; the field to be mapped  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
from #!EF , the second parameter. In the most common use 
of this module, no other parameters are set: the positions of 
the first field are used as indices to the positions of 
the second; the associated data values from the second field are 
then mapped as new data values onto the first. #!N #!N 
Components other than  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   positions #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF can 
also be mapped to one another. #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   
#!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Open and execute visual program .../Map.net. 
In this example, wind values are mapped onto an isosurface of 
cloud-water quantity and the result is colored. In addition, wind values 
are mapped onto a probe point and displayed as text glyphs. 
#!N #!I30 #!N 2. Double click on the right-hand  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Import 
#!EF icon to open its configuration dialog box. The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name 
#!EF parameter field contains a file name ending in "wind." #!N 
#!I30 #!N 3. Change "wind" to "temperature" and click on  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
OK #!EF . #!N #!I30 #!N 4. Reexecute the visual program. 
The image is now a color map of temperatures on the 
isosurface. The number displayed is the data value of the probe 
point. #!N #!I30 #!N 5. To move the probe point, first 
select  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   View Control #!EF in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Options #!EF pull-down 
menu. #!N #!I30 #!N 6. Next select  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Cursors #!EF in 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Mode #!EF pull-down menu. The probe point appears as 
a small white square immediately to the left of the data 
value. #!N #!I30 #!N 7. Drag the probe point to reposition 
it, and then release the mouse button. The data value is 
updated and displayed next to the newly positioned probe point. #!N
