Remember, this only saves the right-most image as indicated by the toggle bar. Use the overlay toggles and "right click" on each layer to save it to the local computer. The "Highways", "Topo", "Counties", "Rivers", and "Cities" overlays only needed to be downloaded once.Īt present, there are three ways to obtain images from the RIDGE radar.
(The topography image is a compressed jpeg image.) To reproduce the RIDGE radar image, each layer needs to be captured and stacked on top of each other.īut it is not as bad as it sounds as fortunately, for any one radar site, once a copy of the overlays are obtained, only the radar image and the "Warnings" and "Legend" overlays change. Except for the topography, these images are a "gif" format with a white background that has been made transparent.
In this case it is "Cities".Ī typical RIDGE radar view is comprised of seven individual images layered on top of each other through the use of style sheets. The right most overlay selected is the top image. In the toggle overlay example (below), the "Cities" overlay is the top graphic and the only one that can be saved by selecting the image. Trying to save the RIDGE image will only save the legend graphic. In the example above, the "Legend" graphic is the top image selected. In the toggle overlay section, just below the radar image, the right most selected overlay is the top image. Unlike the old radar display, "right clicking" on a RIDGE radar image will only allow you to copy or "save to the clipboard" the very top layer, based upon the selected overlays.
