[ncl-talk] SKEW-T line colors

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Ioana,
There is not a built in option so that the user can change the Isotherms in
the Skew-T background interface. You can change it however, but
copying $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/skewt_func.ncl locally, and
altering line 248 of your local copy from this:
      colTan              = "Tan"
to this:
      colTan              = "Orange"

Hope that helps!
Adam
