<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Ling,<br><br></div>This is a tough one -- off hand it looks like a classic issue of mixing two disparate geodata sources of very different scales/resolutions, which typically incur alignment/registration issues. If that's what is going on, I don't think there's much you can really do about it. Do you know what are the relative scales of the different sources? Is there a reason to believe the climate division boundaries would align with the county (political) boundaries? (e.g., are they semi-arbitrarily defined that way for convenience?)<br><br></div>Rick <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 9:43 PM, Ling Huang <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hlbutterflyut@gmail.com" target="_blank">hlbutterflyut@gmail.com</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 class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Dear NCL talk,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I want to show boundaries of climate division and counties over the same plot.
