I am plotting two overlaid contours over a map with gsn_csm_contour_map_overlay. Everything works pretty fine but the tickmarks. I set res1@pmTickMarkDisplayMode = "Always" and I get the output you can see in the .ps I attach. What I made wrong? Furthermore, is it possible to have longitude and latitude tickmarks on just one side (bottom and left sides, resp.) of the plot?<br>

Thank you,<br>
