Mary, that's an excellent tip--I'm always perpetually confused about
where to find information on resources too, and didn't realize that
a list like that existed.<br>
<br>
I'll try that myself next time I have questions.<br>

quick tip: if an NCL graphical resource is not behaving as
expected, then you can search for all of the application
examples that use that resource by going to the applications
page:</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="">When you get a message about
"yyyyy is not not a resource in xxxx at this time", then you
first do two things:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="">
<ol>
<li>Double-check that you've spelled the resource name
correctly.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Make sure you're applying it to a function that
recognizes it. For example, you can't set "xyLineColor"
when calling gsn_csm_contour.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<div>In your case, it seems like you are spelling it
correctly, and gsn_csm_contour should accept both of those
resources, so there must be something else going on. </div>

</div>
<div>Can you try the attached script to make sure it works?
Also, can you provide your script?</div>

ncl-talk users,<br>
<br>
I have a problem to set the size of the tick marks in my
contours plot.<br>
Looking on the resources page on the website, I am trying
to use the<br>
following resources::<br>
<br>
tmYLLabelFontHeightF , tmXBLabelFontHeightF<br>
<br>
but I receive back the message during the execution:<br>
warning:tmXBLabelFontHeightF is not a valid resource in<br>
cr_sect_3x_thyadv_vect_av_300_contour.PlotManager at this
time<br>
warning:tmYLLabelFontHeightF is not a valid resource in<br>
cr_sect_3x_thyadv_vect_av_300_contour.PlotManager at this
time<br>
<br>
The contour function I am using is the ** gsn_csm_contour
**.<br>
Should I use different resources to set the tick mark size
in contour<br>
plots?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for the help.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Gabriele Arduini<br>
