;NFIELDS
:This option tells the ROMS plotting package how many fields you wish to plot. Each field will will plot separately. If you wish to show two fields on a single plot see the '''[[#IREF | IREF]]''' and '''[[#IDOVER | IDOVER]]''' options. The second line for this option is a comma separated list of field IDs ('''[[Plotting Fields|FLDID]]''').
:'''Default Value:''' 1

;NLEVELS
:This option tells the ROMS plotting package how many levels and/or depths to plot, '''0''' to plot all levels. The second line for this option is a comma separated list of levels and/or depths (FLDLEV) you wish to plot. You must have NLEVELS of levels and/or depths in your comma separated list unless you set NLEVELS to '''0'''. If NLEVELS is set to '''0''' the FLDLEV list is ignored.
:'''Default Value:''' 1

;FRSTD
:First day (>0) or time record (<0) to plot. Set '''FRSTD''', '''LASTD''' and '''DSKIP''' to '''0''' to plot all times.
:'''Default Value:''' 0

;LASTD
:Last day (>0) or time record (<0) to plot. Set '''FRSTD''', '''LASTD''' and '''DSKIP''' to '''0''' to plot all times.
:'''Default Value:''' 0

;DSKIP
:Plot every other DSKIP days. If zero, the data is plotted at their own time frequency. Otherwise, if greater than zero, the data will be plotted every other '''DSKIP''' days. Set '''FRSTD''', '''LASTD''' and '''DSKIP''' to '''0''' to plot all times.
:'''Default Value:''' 0

:'''Default Value:''' N/A

;XSEC2

:'''Default Value:''' N/A

;YSEC2
:Ending section Y-position in grid units, km or degrees based on the value of ISECPOS. For example, if ISECPOS is set to '''1''' then the units of YSEC2 will be kilometers (km).

:'''Default Value:''' N/A

;VINTRP
:Vertical interpolation: [0] linear, [1] cubic splines.
:'''Default Value:''' 0

;PMIN
:Field minimum value for color palette. If you set this to '''0.0''' the minimum will be calculated for each frame. This is problematic if you are trying to analyze several time steps because, since the minimum is recalculated for every frame, your plots will not have a consistent colorbar. It is recommended that you set this value to you actual minimum and not allow the plotting package to determine it for you.
:'''Default Value:''' 0.0

;PMAX
:Field maximum value for color palette. If you set this to '''0.0''' the minimum will be calculated for each frame. This is problematic if you are trying to analyze several time steps because, since the minimum is recalculated for every frame, your plots will not have a consistent colorbar. It is recommended that you set this value to you actual minimum and not allow the plotting package to determine it for you.
:'''Default Value:''' 0.0

;ICNT
:Draw contours between color bands: 0=no, 1=yes. This can be distracting if you have steep contours.
:'''Default Value:''' 0

;ISOVAL
:Iso-surface value to process. This is only used when plotting the depths of requested field isosurface: temperature, salinity, "in situ" density, sigma-t, or potential density. If plotting potential density isosurfaces, provide the reference depth value "'''[[Internal Plotting Parameters#ZREF|ZREF]]'''" in internal plotting parameters file (3rd line input file).

;LEVOVER
:Level of the overlay field. Set to 0 if same as current level/depth ('''[[#NLEVELS|FLDLEV]]''').
:'''Default Value:'''

;RMIN
:Overlay field minimum value to consider. If set to '''0.0''' The minimum will be calculated for each frame. This is problematic if you are trying to analyze several time steps because, since the minimum is recalculated for every frame, your plots will not have consistent overlay values. It is recommended that you set this value to you actual minimum and not allow the plotting package to determine it for you.
:'''Default Value:''' 0.0

;RMAX
:Overlay field maximum value to consider. If set to '''0.0''' The minimum will be calculated for each frame. This is problematic if you are trying to analyze several time steps because, since the maximum is recalculated for every frame, your plots will not have consistent overlay values. It is recommended that you set this value to you actual maximum and not allow the plotting package to determine it for you.
:'''Default Value:''' 0.0

;LGRID
:Desired longitude/latitude grid spacing (degrees). The grid is drawn at LGRID spacing starting from specified map lower corner. If LGRID is negative, the latitude labels in the map are rotated 90 degrees to avoid label congestion, if any.
