<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Matthew,<br></div>Both Kyle and Dennis are correct in that the wrf* functions can overrule or ignore some resources. However, I have one more combination of resources for you to try. I see that you are color filling your contours and that you'd like the inland lakes to be filled gray. In order to do this you'd want to draw the map fill last, and set all map fill colors (default, ocean, land) to transparent other than inland water. I am also having you set the contour color fill draw order to "Draw" to further make sure that the map fill is drawn after the contour color fill.<br><br>Try this:<br></div>; note that you could have set mpLandFillColor, mpOceanFIllColor, etc. instead of<br>; mpFillColors<br></div><div>mpres@mpFillColors = (/"transparent","transparent","transparent","grey81"/)<br></div>mpres@mpFillDrawOrder = "PostDraw"<br><br></div>var3_res@cnFillDrawOrder = "Draw" ; might not be needed<br><div><br></div><div>If the above combination does not work, then I would follow Dennis' suggestions of either contacting wrf-help or stripping wrf_map_overlays out and modifying it to your own needs. <br></div><div>Adam<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 7:45 AM, Dennis Shea <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shea@ucar.edu" target="_blank">shea@ucar.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>The wrf_* were written by wrfhelp.

<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?
