    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>

          <div>In your case, it seems like you are spelling it

              The contour function I am using is the ** gsn_csm_contour

              Should I use different resources to set the tick mark size

              plots?<br>
