boxfill plots don't pick proper interval

[potter2]

I have just found that the boxfill plots - even though the data range is between 5e-7 and .0004 (very small numbers) the default range for plotting it picks is between 0 and 20. the colorfill plot works fine and picks a range between .0004 and 5e-7. Users shouldn't have to reset the range for the boxfill. The attached example is for precip.. Color fill on top and boxfill on the bottom.

thanks @potter2 will take a look this morning.

@potter2 works for me. Is that from the GUI?

import cdms2,sys,vcs
x=vcs.init()
f=cdms2.open(sys.prefix+"/sample_data/clt.nc")
s=f("clt",time=slice(0,1),squeeze=1)/100000000.
iso=x.createisofill()
x.plot(s,iso)
raw_input("pe")

works for me from the gui as well. Can anybody else reproduce this?

[potter2]

It may be that the data has very small numbers. Try a precip file that has values similar to what I sent as an example.

well yours are 1E-4 my test is 1E-6

@potter2 Tom phillips came to me with a similar bug today I think this should fix your issue. Pushing a branch in a few minutes

[doutriaux1]

@potter2 please go to your uvcdat sources

git checkout -b issue_869_boxfill_resets_level_1_level_2 origin/issue_869_boxfill_resets_level_1_level_2
#make sure you are having the right python
which python
cd Packages/vcs
python setup.py install
uvcdat

Let me know if tthat fixes things for you.

@potter2 after talking to you. It turns out you are using "quick" boxfill. For whatever historical reason "quick" has the levels preset to these values. I will generate back all the "a_boxfill" and al. so you have a clean graphic method with default values that you can edit for each type.
