WSV3 Warning Graphic

JPWX

Hi @Paul,
Here are my thoughts/concepts about the warning graphic with stats. I know nothing about computer coding and don't know if all this would be doable.

My vision for this:

When you click the warning/watch, a general image of the warning/watch pops up with the county in a separate panel listing cities and potential exposure allowing the user to save that image.

I envision having the lower left hand box that shows the state overlaid with the storm itself with an opacity line giving the user the ability to decrease/increase of the image. You could do the same with the main image with the county.

I also like the idea of when you zoom in/out on a specific city/location, the stats change giving the user the ability to focus more on a specific location especially if there's just one storm moving thru the county.

You could also include the general forward speed and storm direction as well.

JPWX Thanks for sharing this. Let me come back to this when iterating specifics of high level UI on vector layers like this, but in general, this is feedback about what would be equivalent to WSV3 Professional 2015 clicking on the severe warning polygon lines for the info box, right? I am building the engine to be very extensible in this regard. The afterwards separate graphics product "WSV3 Graphics Producer" (or whatever it's to be called) ideally aims to allow the user to customize the look and behavior of this entirely, possibly even from a scripting level. But Tactical Mesoanalyst needs to have optimized default behavior for maximum informational density and utility. Having two separate products allows for maximum visuals and graphics for presentation purposes without bloating Tactical Mesoanalyst for storm chasing/in-field use for critical information display.

By "a general image of the warning/watch" are you referring to a secondary map visualization, like a thumbnail?

JPWX

Paul Okay. Gotcha. Yes sir. Like a thumbnail for the secondary map. That sounds awesome!
