[ncl-talk] Suppressing output of "table_attach_columns" function

[Mary Haley]

Hi Michael,

Your version of table_attach_rows inadvertently had a "write_matrix" call
added to it, that is printing out all the values.

You have a few options for a fix:

1) You can upgrade to NCL V6.4.0 which doesn't have this issue
​.​


2) You can modify $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl
directly and comment
​or remove
 this line inside of "table_attach_rows":

  write_matrix(tNew, "10f7.2" , False)

3)
​If you don't have the necessary write permissions to do #2, then y​
​
​
​
ou can
​ copy
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl
​to your own directory, make the change to this copy of the file, and then
load your own contributed.ncl instead of the system one:

; load "
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl
​"​
load "*/path/to/my/own/*contributed.ncl"

​4) If you don't want to copy over the whole contributed.ncl file, then you
can edit the file, copy the whole table_attach_rows function only, write
this code to a new file, say "table_attach_rows_mod.ncl", and then just
load that one file:

load "
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl
​"​
load "*/path/to/my/own/*table_attach_rows_mod.ncl"
