[ncl-talk] Plot of constant values

Ok, sorry if I got wrong since I called functions instead of resources.
I'm trying to make a plot of NetCDF file, by using a tiling approach and making a subset of the data. 
Although I add the following two lines in my script, as you suggested, I can't obtain what I'd like to.   

--------------------------------
res at cnConstFEnableFill = True   |
res at cnConstFLabelOn = False     |
--------------------------------

Attached you will find:

- file_input_crop.nc (NETCDF input file that I'm using)
- tms_output.png (an example of output .PNG that I got)
- tms_test.ncl (the script that I'm using for the plot)

Looking at the output, I believe that NCL isn't able to get the constant value in the selected bounding area.

Maybe I'm not using appropriately the resources.

Thank you for the help

Raffaele

It'll help everyone solve this by describing how it is not working?  Also
fyi these are resources not functions.


This works exactly as expected for me in 6.2.0 and 6.2.1.


x = new ( (/100,100/), float)
x = 100

wks = gsn_open_wks("X11","ConstFill_wks")

res = True
res at cnFillOn = True                 ;;;;  The contour needs to be filled to
start with, for a constant value to be filled.
res at cnConstFEnableFill = True
res at cnConstFLabelOn = False

plot = gsn_csm_contour(wks, x, res)
