New 3D rendering for the GRIBs


We can now have a better 3D rendering for the GRIB data.
The thing is to be able to stack whatever data is available in the GRIB on top of another one, along with the chart.
The check boxes at the bottom of the panel do the job, they're activated when the data they describe are available. Stacking waves and Pressure at Mean Sea Level for example, unsurprisingly shows that the waves are bigger where the pressure is low.
To manipulate this kind of image, just imagine it is in a glass ball. And then rotate it just like if you where using a track ball... The mouse moves the image just like your hand or thumb at the surface of the ball.

Trop beau, ton dessin ma poule.
On dirait un tablier de boucher, il manque plus qu'une belle tete de veau (la mienne de toute facon il n'y a rien dedans).

Pour l'amour de la science
