Dear Karin

Thank You once again. Now its coming properly.
One more problem i am facing right now is that i am trying to save the
output result in pdf.
I am using the commands before END command
  wks_type = "pdf"
  wks_type at wkPaperSize = "A4"
  wks = gsn_open_wks(wks_type,"test2")

These command are generating the pdf file in directory but blank without
any graphs (0 bytes).

So how is the correct way to save the result in pdf or png format or how to
use above commands correctly.

Thank You
