Hi all,

I am trying to plot additional features over my surface plot by G3D procedure, however I am having problems setting the correct coordinate value.

I want an arrow to be placed at a certain location, and the whole domain is:

x=20-60 (latitude)
y=200-260 (longitude)
z=10.000-7.000 (pressure)

I am defining my x y z coordinates in the annotate dataset as the actual values in the original dataset i.e. x=20 y=200 z=10.000 (the origin) and set my xsys ysys zsys variables to "3".

However the arrow appears not in the exact x y z location but shifted with some arbitrary value in all 3 dimensions.

What can be the reason for this??

Thanks a lot.

xsys, ysys, zsys = "3" treats the coordinates as "% of the graphics area", therefore x=20 is treated as 20% of the way from the left side of the graphics area, etc.

Since you are using actual (data) values as your x, y, z then you will want to use xsys, ysys, zsys = "2".

For more info on the xsys/ysys coordinate system values, the following table might help:
