3.7.2 Subsetting Point Data
You can do time binning and spatial subsetting for point data.
  1. If other displays and data are already loaded, select the Edit→Remove All Displays and Data menu item or the icon in the toolbar to clear them out.
  2. Load in the file /data/idv/point/madis.nc. Make sure you the Data Source type select "netCDF Point Data files"
  3. Create a Point Data Plot. Say Yes to seeing all of the times. Notice the number of times? This is not very ideal.
  4. In the display control window go to the Times tab. Turn on the enabled button and enter 5 minutes for the Only Show Every. Press return.
  5. Note: this isn't time binning. This just skips the observations.
  6. Remove that display.
  7. Now we're going to bin the times.
  8. Spatially subset the point data.
