[ncl-talk] Can't plot x-axis labels on a vertical cross-section plot.

[Mary Haley]

Hi Ty,

Sorry about the delay. Most of the NCL team was out for a workshop last
week.

The error is likely coming from nzlabs being equal to 1.  You cannot call
fspan with just 1 value, because fspan wants to return both the start *and*
the end values, which requires that the third argument be at least 2.

So, this won't work:

x = fspan(0,5,1)

but this will:

x = fspan(0,5,2)

You need to check this code:

  res at tmXBMode = "Explicit"
  res at tmXBValues = fspan(0,xspan,nxlabs)                     ; Create the
correct tick marks
  res at tmXBLabels = sprintf("%.1f",fspan(xmin,xmax,nxlabs))

and make sure that "nxlabs" is 2 or greater.  If it's not, then you may
need to check on the calculation for nxlabs.
