<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I solved this problem this morning. While the biggest issue with my example was the lack of a statement to convert the input from string to a numeric type, I did have such provisions in my actual code of interest.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It turns out that the order with which contour resources are set *does* matter. If cnLevels or cnMinLevelValF, cnMaxLevelValF, and cnLevelSpacingF (depending on selection mode) are set before the cnLevelSelectionMode is set, the previously-set limits are essentially ignored (or perhaps partially reset?). I can't quite say what was happening as I didn't look into it, but just wanted to clarify that it is crucial to set cnLevelSelectionMode ***before*** setting any other related resources with the 'setvalues' command.</div>

Date: Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 6:29 PM<br>Subject: Setting contour levels with setvalues<br>To: ncl-talk <<a href="mailto:ncl-talk@ucar.edu">ncl-talk@ucar.edu</a>><br><br><br><div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I have either found a bug or am missing other resources that need setting. My problem stems from not being able to properly limit the min and max levels with cnMinLevelValF/cnMaxLevelValF in ManualLevels mode and cnLevels with ExplicitLevels mode. While this doesn't seem to always occur, I've attached a script which duplicates this problem. There might be a few unnecessary lines in the script as well, as I've been testing quite a bit of the object-oriented setvalues/getvalues commands. You can test each mode by commenting/uncommenting the pair of vresources/vresvalue variables just inside the begin statement. I think this is all self-contained (aside from the two gsm load statements), but let me know if anything doesn't work when the script is run. This is on a 64-bit linux system with 6.1.2. Thanks,</div>
