[ncl-talk] define infill color for inland water bodies

Hi Matthew,
I would continue to try setting various DrawOrder resources. Give this
variation a try:
mpres at cnFillDrawOrder = "PreDraw"
mpres at mpFillDrawOrder = "Draw"
mpres at mpOutlineDrawOrder = "Draw"
mpres at mpPerimDrawOrder = "PostDraw"
mpres at cnLineDrawOrder = "PostDraw"
The above combination works for me when color contour filling and map
filling at the same time.
