With your suggestion, everything worked out, until we want a filled map.<br>
<br>
I am working like these<br>
<br>
;define the resource:<br>
<br>
res = True<br>
res@gsnMaximize = True<br>
<br>
res@gsnDraw = False<br>
res@gsnFrame = False<br>
<br>
;define the work station<br>
wks = gsn_open_wks("x11", out_flnm)<br>
<br>
;the map<br>
map_projection = "Mercator"<br>
<br>
;Set some map resources.<br>
res@mpProjection = map_projection ; choose projection<br>
<br>
res@mpLimitMode = "LatLon"<br>
res@mpMinLatF = -85.0<br>
res@mpMaxLatF = 85.0<br>
res@mpMinLonF = -180.0<br>
res@mpMaxLonF = 180.0<br>
<br>
res@mpOutlineBoundarySets = "National"<br>
res@mpNationalLineColor = 1<br>
res@mpGridAndLimbOn = True<br>
<br>
res@mpLandFillColor = "Wheat3" ; was "GoldenRod1" or "Tan"<br>
res@mpOceanFillColor = "SlateGray2" ; was "LightBlue1"<br>
res@mpInlandWaterFillColor = "SlateGray2" ; was "LightBlue1" ; was "PaleTurquoise3"<br>
<br>
Then I draw front as:<br>
;print("xlat = " + xlat + ", xlon = " + xlon)<br>
wmdrft(wks, xlat, xlon) ; Draw front.<br>
(and quite few of them)<br>
<br>
And later:<br>
<br>
pline = gsn_add_polyline(wks, plot, xlon, xlat, p_res)<br>
(and may other similar)<br>
<br>
and finally:<br>
<br>
draw(map)<br>
frame(wks)<br>
<br>
<br>
Now the front was draw first (without map), and then others draw on map,<br>
And covered the fronts draw on the wks before.<br>
<br>
How can adjust the order to make the front draw last on top of the map?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

Wei,<br>
You should use a different set of resources for the poly functions from the ones you use for the gsn_csm_map call.<br>
