[ncl-talk] problem using RANGS database

[Juan Carlos Anduckia]

Hello :A very basic issue. I'm using NCL v 6.3.0 and I have the following problem running a WRF-precipitation script when using the High Resolution option via RANGS:
fatal:MapRGDHDrawMapList: MDRGOL/MDRGOF - ERROR OPENING RANGS/GSHHS CAT FILE
fatal:PlotManagerPostDraw: error in plot post-draw
fatal:_NhlPlotManagerDraw: PostDraw error
I have seen this error reported in the list more than once but still wonder why the problem might be in my case.My rangs files:
$ ls -l /lib/ncarg/database/rangs/

   ; Total Precipitation (color fill)
    contour_tot = wrf_contour(e1,wks, rain_tot, opts_r)
   ; Precipitation Tendencies    opts_r at SubFieldTitle = "desde " + times_sav + " hasta " + times(it) 
    contour_tend = wrf_contour(e1,wks, rain_tot_tend,opts_r) ; total (color)
    contour_res = wrf_contour(e1,wks,rain_exp_tend,opts_r)   ; exp (color)
    opts_r at cnFillOn = False    opts_r at cnLineColor = "Red4"
    contour_prm = wrf_contour(e1,wks,rain_con_tend,opts_r)   ; con (red lines) 
    delete(opts_r)      
    ; MAKE PLOTS
    ; Total Precipitation
    ;  plot = wrf_map_overlays(e1,wks,contour_tot,pltres,mpres)
    ; Total Precipitation Tendency + SLP                
    plot = wrf_map_overlays(e1,wks,(/contour_tend,contour_psl/),pltres,mpres)
    
I enclose images of what I get using the option "MediumRes" versus the option "HighRes".Besides, how do I get written in the color bar "0.2   0.4" instead of ".2   .4" ?
Thank you,    Juan
