<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Matthew,<br><br>Never mind what I said about commenting out the mpFillColors resource line. I misunderstood what you were trying to do. For what its worth, since I didn't have your data, I slightly modified your script to use just gsn_csm_map(), and I did indeed get an image consisting of only inland water colored in grey81 -- all other areas of the map where "transparent". So I think Adam is right -- it must be a draw-order issue in the presence of data to plot over the map. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to recommend at this point.<br><br></div>Sorry about that...<br>Rick<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 3:01 PM, Rick Brownrigg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brownrig@ucar.edu" target="_blank">brownrig@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">I got a different result when I commented out this line:<span class=""><br><br>mpres@mpFillColors = (/"transparent","transparent","transparent","grey81"/)<br></span></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 2:28 PM, Matthew Fearon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Matthew.Fearon@dri.edu" target="_blank">Matthew.Fearon@dri.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<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.

<div>The wrf_* were written by wrfhelp. You should send questions to <a href="mailto:wrfhelp@ucar.edu" target="_blank">

As noted, the resources may not be allowed or are overwritten by the wrf code.<br>

I'd suggest extracting the function from the library, modifying the function and then calling the modified function.<br>
