<p dir="ltr">Although I'm not certain, most WRF plotting scripts overwrite many of the more complicated resources. It sounds like these map fill resources are included in the list that they either don't recognize or overwrite.<br><br></p>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Thanks, Kyle, but I'm missing something still. My script is below. The wrf_map_overlays function is perhaps messing up the draw order or recoloring inland water bodies white. Any
ideas?

<div>What is the correct method for filling in inland water bodies with a specified color. Here's the resources I have been experimenting with, but none seem to work, eg, inland lakes are consistently colored white not grey81. Thanks, Matt</div>
