[ncl-talk] ZOOMING INTO REGION OF INTEREST USING WRFUserARW.ncl

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Afwande,
Looking at your script, you have this:
  mpOutlineBoundarySets             = "National"
  mpDataBaseVersion                 = "MediumRes"
  mpFillOn                          = True
  mpProjection                      = "Mercator"

I think you want those lines to look like this:
  mpres at mpOutlineBoundarySets             = "National"
  mpres at mpDataBaseVersion                 = "MediumRes"
  mpres at mpFillOn                          = False
  mpres at mpProjection                      = "Mercator"

If that does not fix the problem please let ncl-talk know.
Adam
