[ncl-talk] warning:PlotManagerGetBB: Error setting view values for annotation

Hi Beata,

The extra information you provided made it easy to debug this problem.

You are right that acos(1) should be valid.The issue is that even though
the print statements are indicating the values are equal to 1, they are
actually slightly greater than 1.

For example, taking acos of 1.00000001 will give you a nan, while a value
of 1.0000001 won't:

ncl 3> print(acos(1.00000001))
(0)      0
ncl 4> print(acos(1.0000001))
(0)     nan
ncl 5>

The fix is to check CC for being > 1 and if it is, reset it to 1. You can
add this one line to near the top of taylor_diagram in your
taylor_diagram_lh.ncl file:

  CC = where(CC.gt.1,1,CC)
