We can get the code to run just fine. Where we're running into trouble is how to visualize the hulls created by EddieScan, as the centroids are in degrees (Lon, Lat), but the other attributes of the hulls are in pixels, which we think are linked to the "area map" - however, it's not clear where the pixel IDs are, or how we could use the output in any way other than in the GUI visualizer. Any thoughts? Many thanks! — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

However, here are a few suggestions and I hope they are helpful. If you resolve the issue, I'd appreciate it if you commented on the GitHub issue so other can benefit: 1. Forgive me if you already have, but you should check out our paper <https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201528> and associated data <https://datadryad.org/resource/doi:10.5061/dryad.gp40h> that give more details about what the algorithm returns (and I assume how to plot/view) 2. From a quick glance, the easiest way to draw a circle or ellipse around the eddy centroid seems to use the lat/lon of each centroid and then draw a circle with the area in the SurfaceArea variable 3. If I understand correctly, you want to plot the eddy bodies (or just the contours). To do that, you would use the PixelIdList field in the eddy object. This gives you the linear index of the pixels in your eddy (I believe MATLAB has a buil-in function to convert linear indices to 2D indices given the overall grid dimensions such as 700 x 1400). So to plot the eddies, all you have to do is to have a zeros matrix with the size of your entire grid and set the pixels in PixelIdList to 1 4. Alternatively, depending on what you want to do, we have a mat_to_csv.m function <https://github.com/jfaghm/OceanEddies/tree/master/db> that takes the eddy tracks and saves them into a CSV for easier analyses. I hope this helps. Warmly, James On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 1:53 PM DanHolstein ***@***.***> wrote: > Hi there.
