Hi all,
I am trying to plot 4 curves (station observations), with their model
simulated ranges (min, max) as filled areas using gsnXYFillColors.
I get the 4 curves and everything else just fine using the script below
(ignore highlighted part for now).

However, when I add the highlighted part to my script, I get "fill_bw_xy:
Error: If filling between two curves, one set must be 2D, and the other
1D". Also, the plot generated looks very strange - completely destroys my
existing plot. Perhaps I am making some trivial mistake as I am using
overlay and gsnXYFillColors with 2Y axes for the first time.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Attached are:
1. Working plot, without gsnXYFillColors - Suva_Nadi_cmp.eps
2. Plot after adding the highlighted bit - Suva_Nadi_cmp2.eps
3. One of the 4 data files used in gsnXYFillColors, just incase it's needed
- Suva_mod_pr.csv
Thanks,
Vandhna.
