[ncl-talk] Issue Converting Year Fractions to Months

[Zach Rieck]

To Whom it May Concern-

I've created a panel of plots and want the x-axis to simply be months.
These months need to be non-sequential in number order since I need
November, December, January, February, and March in that order. It's ok if
these months are tied to a year if necessary. The dates I am using are in
yyyymmdd format, and I have converted them to year fractions as suggested
in the online documentation. When I try using resources to convert this to
month strings though I get a resource warning.

I'll attach my whole script, but I've pasted my plotting section below to
keep things simple since I'm guessing it's just an issue I can fix with
some syntax changes.

Thanks for the help!

    resP                    = True                 ; modify the panel plot
    resP at gsnPanelMainString = "Pine Creek 38.88 N 112.25W elev 8790 ft"
; set main title
    gsn_panel(wks,plots,(/3,4/),resP)               ; now draw as one plot
