Hi Elizabeth,
I think this is just a draw order problem. According to the gsn_add_text
documentation, "The text strings will be drawn only when the plot is
drawn.". So, I think all you need to do is move these five lines above the
draw(plot_d01) call:
tres = True
tres at txFontHeightF = 0.15
dum1 = gsn_add_text(wks,plot_d01,"d01, 36 km",-65,28,tres)
dum2 = gsn_add_text(wks,plot_d01,"d02,12 km",-67,36,tres)
dum3 = gsn_add_text(wks,plot_d01,"d03, 4 km",-69,41,tres)
draw(plot_d01)
;---- set polygon line resources:
lnres = True

If that does not solve it please let ncl-talk know..
Adam
