[Vis5d-users] color palette of topography / cutting off unused data

Hi all

I have two (hopefully) simple questions:

1) I am displaying the results from my NWP model with Vis5D. In order to 
get a clear and easy to understand figure, I would like to change the 
color scheme of the underlying topography. At the moment, I always get a 
green to redish colored topography. However, I would prefer to have the 
topography in a grayscale color palette.

2) The fields from my NWP are up to 9 km high. Some of the features I am 
interested in are however only visible in the lowest 2 km of the 
atmosphere. How can I cut off let's say the uppermost 7 km and use only 
the lowest 2 km. If I "stretch" the z-coordinate, still the whole range 
from 0 to 9 km is displayed. Is there any other possibility to get a 
better focus on shallow atmospheric processes.

Thanks for any help,

Nicolas
