It's a lot of extra bother and \nsomething else to manage. I'd rather just make a change to the Polar_pi Load \nfunction. The issue then is whether the user knows the type of file he has \nand can select the proper parser via a checkbox else I add a number of \nparser options to discover the file construction. A third option would be to \njust have the user manually load his data from the file by hand into the \ngrid then save it out. I'll try to add some more auto-parsers based on the \nfile types you've given me. In your collection, do you have them sorted by \ntype or source? I think I'll add a note in the Load function about the need \nfor the constant Wind Speed and TWA bin sizes.\n  As Lincoln the programmer said you can parse some of the files all of the \ntime.....\n\nHasta,\nDave\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Rick Gleason\" <notifications@github.com>\nTo: \"cowelld/tackandlay_pi\" <tackandlay_pi@noreply.github.com>\nCc: \"Dave Cowell\" <david.cowell@ymail.com>\nSent: Friday, March 06, 2015 2:08 PM\nSubject: Re: [tackandlay_pi] What is the necessary Polar format ?
