Sam Koshy was ambitious enough to write a Python script that will colorize the points in a KML file with respect to altitude as shown here: If you’re interested in having your data color coded like this, you can follow these simple steps:\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download and unzip the python script that Sam wrote: http:\/\/s4.sonoma.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Colorpy.zip<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Use the S4 Data Manager to export your desired data set to a KML file as normal<\/li>\n
  3. Make sure that the python script (Colorpy.py that you extracted in step 1) and the file you want to edit are located in the same folder on your computer.<\/li>\n
  4. Open the Colorpy.py in any text editor<\/li>\n
  5. Locate the line in the file that reads xmldoc = minidom.parse(“MoffettLaunch.kml”)and change the text inside the quotation marks to match the file you want to colorize: xmldoc = minidom.parse(“MyFileName.kml”) Save the file<\/li>\n
  6. Execute the python script, and it will create a new file called “fileout.kml” that has the colorized data set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Executing a python file requires you to have python installed. You should have no trouble finding a tutorial on running a python script on your particular operating system if you Google it, but if there is sufficient interest in this process, I will be happy to write a quick tutorial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
