[ncl-talk] help with mpLandFillColor

[David Hebert]

I am trying to use mpLandFillColor on a plot to fill the land. However, 
this does not seem to be working, and I get a white background. I am 
using NCL V6.1.0. Here is the major plotting portion of the code. Any 
help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
David
