Class: Paintball<ArrayType, MapType>

A class representing a paintball plot, which is a plot of objects in every member of an ensemble. Objects are usually defined by a single threshold on a field (such as simulated reflectivity greater than 40 dBZ), but could in theory be defined by any arbitrarily complicated method. In autumnplot-gl, the data for the paintball plot is given as a single field with the objects from each member encoded as “bits” in the field. Because the field is made up of single-precision floats, this works for up to 24 members. (Technically speaking, I don’t need the quotes around “bits”, as they’re bits of the significand of an IEEE 754 float.)

Parameters

• field: RawScalarField<ArrayType>

A scalar field containing the member objects encoded as “bits.” The numerical value of each grid point can be constructed like 1.0 * M1 + 2.0 * M2 + 4.0 * M3 + 8.0 * M4 ..., where M1 is 1 if that grid point is in an object in member 1 and 0 otherwise, M2 is the same thing for member 2, and M3 and M4 and up to Mn are the same thing for the rest of the members.

• opts?: PaintballOptions
