<p class="MsoNormal">To be more exact, I wrote a routine here that does an area-weighted average of some variables. Now the users are asking if I can give them a list of variables in the model and they can choose which ones to calculate a weighted average.
I can envision a Custom filter where I have a Programmable filter which processes everything, preceded by a Pass Arrays filter - I could bundle them together and expose the Pass Arrays filter to let them choose which variables they want, but I think the
self-contained plug-in which I can add to the site Plugin directory and get automagically loaded at startup is a better way to go if I can just figure out how to do it!<o:p></o:p></p>

that information is obtained from its input.<o:p></o:p></p>
