Block Variable

Use this field to specify the variable indicating subgroups within arrays. Subsequent images are drawn by the Block Variable.

Leave this empty if there is only one block in an array or no blocking variable is desired. Without a Block Variable, only one image per array is drawn.

Note: When specifying a Block Variable, the x-Coordinate Variable and y-Coordinate Variable must be within-block coordinates.

To Specify a Block Variable:

Specify the Coordinate Data Set.

All of the variables in the specified data set are displayed in the Available Variables field.

Examine the list of available variables.

Highlight the variable that represents subgroups.
