Only apply layer controls to current data, not display [1522]

Hi guys - one more bug fix while I'm at it.

Tommy, would it be possible to have more information here? What is this?

Yes, try this Julien. Grab this sample (very small) data file:

ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/incoming/aa734.track.txt

In short, the current bug is changes to the data get applied to the map/view also, they should not. Details below, which are Bob's notes from the inquiry:

Load in the aa734.track.txt file (found in /home/mcuser/inquiry-data/1369) through the General>Files/Directories chooser with the 'Text Point and Trajectory Data files' Data Type. Choose the Point Cloud>Default field, the Point Cloud display and click Create Display.

There are a variety of options in the Point Cloud tab of the Layer Controls that should apply just to the data, but they apply themselves to map lines as well. Change 'Point Size' to 5 in order to make everything a little easier to see.

Ex: Change 'Color By' to Latitude:

• The Data Point changes to be colored by Latitude using the Color Table in the tab, but so do the map lines. Change the 'Color Table' to System>Relative Humidity
• The Data Point and map lines change to use the Relative Humidity color bar Turn on Visible Range:
• This defaults to North/South bounds of the box. The map lines above/below the box will not be shown. Change the Upper bound to 28. The map lines are now invisible above 28, and so is the data probe when you progress to a timestep where the point is above 28 degrees latitude

These 3 items ('Color By', 'Color Table', and 'Visible Range') should only apply to the data point, not the map lines.

Thanks for dealing with this. Merged.
