 +==== How do I control visualisation and transformation of datasets ====
 +
 +Visualisation and transformation of datasets are configured through metadata. 
 +
 +For OGC WMS to be activated for a dataset a section similar to the one below is required.
 +
 +<code>
 +  <wmsInfo xmlns:w="http://www.met.no/schema/metamod/ncWmsSetup">
 +    <w:ncWmsSetup url="%THREDDS_DATAREF%" aggregate_url="http://thredds.nersc.no/thredds/wms/normap/arctic25km_seaice_aggr" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.met.no/schema/metamod/ncWmsSetup ncWmsSetup.xsd ">
 +      <w:displayArea crs="EPSG:32661" left="-1000000" right="5000000" bottom="-1000000" top="5000000"/>
 +      <w:layer name="NORSEX" style="BOXFILL/rainbow"/>
 +      <w:layer name="NASA_Team" style="BOXFILL/rainbow"/>
 +      <w:layer name="Bristol" style="BOXFILL/rainbow"/>
 +      <w:layer name="Bootstrap" style="BOXFILL/rainbow"/>
 +    </w:ncWmsSetup>
 +  </wmsInfo>
 +</code> 
 +  
 +This section describes the initial view to present and the layers that are available. If the number of layers should be truncated, add ''maxlayers="0"'' to ''ncWmsSetup'''. In the displayArea field, coordinate need to be provided in the coordinates of the map projection defined (using EPSG codes).
 +
 +To enable transformation of a gridded dataset, add ''dataref_OPENDAP'' to MM2 metadata or edit e.g. dif2MM2.xslt to reflect this variable.
 +
 +If the dataset is not a gridded dataset, but e.g. a timeseries, addition of a MM2 field named ''timeseries'' will remove the transform button and add Timeseries and ASCII buttons which are used to visualise a timeseries or download it as ASCII formatted data. The format of the timeseries field is of the form
 +
 +<code>
 +<metadata name="timeseries">time,sea_ice_extent</metadata>
 +</code>
 +
 +Where the first variable is used as the X axis. The others (up to two) will be plotted on the Y axis.
