Horizontal cross-section actor, together with a transfer function.
The horizontal section actor draws a map of multiple forecast data fields at an arbitrary pressure altitude.
- The actor supports multiple forecast data fields.
- Each data field can be rendered as line contours, filled contours or pseudo-colour plot (only one filled contour or pseudo-colour plot is allowed per horizontal section).
- The horizontal section can be interactively moved up and down by the user.
- Each horizontal section contains an instance of a graticule actor to render graticule lines and coast and border lines.
- A surface shadow is available to improve spatial perception.
- Multiple horizontal sections are allowed in a single scene.
- Wind barbs are supported.
