Plot using Y1 and Y2

[jwolff-ncar]

Hi,
I am trying to plot two variables (UGRD and VGRD) on one plot for BCRMSE and ME.

I have a plot/xml for U plot_U_BCRMSE_ME.xml.txt and V plot_V_BCRMSE_ME.xml.txt separately. When I try to put U and V on the same y1 axis I get an error "Failed to create a plot. fcst_var must remain constant for MODE, MTD, Aggregation statistics, Event Equalizer". So I tried to put V on y2 and leave U on y1 but when I do that only V shows up plot_UV_BCRMSE_ME.xml.txt. I am probably setting something wrong somewhere but any help you can provide would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

@jwolff-ncar Jamie, I believe that you should be able to make this plot and the bug in METviewer prevents you to do that.
I created bug issues in METcaclpy (for Python) and METviewer(Rscript) and assigned them to beta3:
dtcenter/METcalcpy#113
dtcenter/METviewer#328

Thank you for taking a look at this issue @TatianaBurek. I look forward to the bug fix as it becomes available.

@jwolff-ncar Jamie,
I fixed the code and it is possible now to plot different variables on y1 and y2 axis. The fix is deployed on dakota http://dakota.rap.ucar.edu:8080/metviewer_dev/
and will be the part of beta3 release.
Please note, that if you use Rscript and sync axis you might not see y2 series because the sync happens based on y1 axis. You need to explicitly provide Y1 Bounds to fix this. Python doesn't have this problem

@TatianaBurek I uploaded the plot_UV_BCRMSE_ME.xml to the dakota instance but it still did not create a plot with U/V together. I do not have the Y1/Y2 axes synced so I don't think that is the issue. Could you send me the xml that you got to work and I will see how it differs from what I have set? Thanks!

@jwolff-ncar plot_UV_BCRMSE_ME.xml should work on dakota : http://dakota.rap.ucar.edu:8080/metviewer_dev/
Make sure to remove 'Job title' or check 'Keep Revisions'. Otherwise you could get older versions of the image.
Please, test with Rscript and Python

I was able to get this to work today and confirm it looks good. Thanks!
