Annotations

For map plots in particular, it can be useful to have text annotations next to each data point.

verif raw.nc -m mae -type map -latrange 59,61 -lonrange 5,8 -maptype simple -a

This labels each data point with the location id and its verification score. This is a quick way to find location ids and then do a separate verification for that point.

(From v1.3.0) To set what fields are shown in the map annotations, use -af followed by a comma-separated list of fields. Supported fields are value,lat,lon,elev. To only show the verification score and the station elevation, use this:

verif raw.nc -m mae -type map -latrange 59,61 -lonrange 5,8 -maptype simple -a -af value,elev

For figures other than maps, the x and y coordinates are annotated:

verif ECMWF.nc MEPS.nc -m mae -a

The font size of the annotations can be set using -afs.
