I am a meteorologist. I use Photoshop to help annotate maps. One thing I always wanted to do, but couldn't, was draw weather fronts.

Recently I've come across some javascript used by leafletjs to draw fronts. Does any of what I've seen get me closer to being able to draw a front with a path? I know Photoshop understands javascript, but not much more.

This is very esoteric. There are few of you who can help. Thanks in advance.

Website example from National Weather Service

Sample of the code I think describes how to draw a front.

No this script snippet does nothing for photoshop, atleast its impossible to say anything without knowing what the functions do. Not all javascript is geared to work with Photoshop API so something meant to work in a browser does not work in phostoshop.

On the otherhand Illustrator is far more suitable for this task and can do this all out of the box, no need to do any scripting. (it is also generally more suitable to make maps)



Image 1: Illustrator knows how to do this directly. Right tool for the right job.
