[ncl-talk] NCL error managing SCM output

[Paolina Bongioannini Cerlini]

Hi Rick,

I do see the file inside  $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps , where all the colormaps are located.
I have these environment variables set, see the following, do you see anything wrong?
Thank you a lot!

Hi Paolina, 

I don't see in your script where or what is calling for that colormap? In any case, it sounds like its not being found. Do you have an environment variable NCARG_ROOT set? If so, the colormap should reside in $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps -- do you see a file named "BlueWhiteOrangeRed.rgb" there?

Hello NCL people, 

I am trying to plot a SCM output from a ncl script 
but-as other times- I get this error about 
ColorMap resource. 
Since in this case I have a white background it turns out 
that no box is drawn around the graphs. 
I attach the script. 
What is wrong in this case? 
Thank you. 

Paolina
