AtlasExplorer allows controlling the variables that you want in your atlas. This is also true for all the atlases based on the Atlas Explorer mechanism.

To add a new variable to an existing atlas, you need to:

  • add it to the list of variables
  • add an alias for this variable for the different projects your are interested in (if needed, see this page)
  • specify a reference (potentially add a data access to your own reference files)
  • create a derived variable (combination of existing variables)
  • add plot parameters, either in custom_plot_params or with the dictionary of the variable
