468: New Predictors (Z)

A map (or a graph if the X-data are index format ) of the observed X-data for new forecasts are shown. If Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) or Principal Components Regression (PCR) is used, the data are standardised according to the X EOF standardisation setting (as set in the "Advanced" settings).

The map title can be changed by right-clicking on the image and then selecting the Customise ~ Title option. The image can be exported as a graphics file. A default name is given to the graphics file, but this name can be changed using the browse button. The image quality for all the graphics formats can be improved by increasing the size of the image (see Options ~ Graphics ~ Graph Scaling ).

There is some flexibility to adjust the colour scaling: the colour bar limits can be set by right-clicking on the image and then selecting the Customise ~ Contour Limits option, and/or the number of colours can be set by selecting the Customise ~ Number of Colours option. In the case of index data, the graph Y-axis limits can be set using the Customise ~ Axis Limits option, and the number of tick marks can be set using the Customise ~ Number of Tick Marks option. Further options for customising the graphics, including adjusting the size of the fonts, and the size of the images, plus masking of land or lake areas for the maps are available from Options ~ Graphics .
