I am attempting to make the background on my plots transparent. However, I believe I am using the wrong resource.<br>
<br>
res@cnMissingValFillPattern = “transparent”<br>
wkstype@wkBackgroundOpacityF = 0.0<br>
<br>
both give me warnings and do not make the background transparent.<br>
<br>
I used to be able to have backgrounds transparent in NCL 5. NCL 6 does not have this feature (or at least it is not default).<br>
