<div dir="ltr">Hi Steven,<div>That error message generally occurs when one data type is getting passed to an array of a different data type. Some exceptions are allowed, like when you pass a float or integer into a double array as behind the scenes NCL promotes the input float/integer to a double. In this case, you are passing a double array into a float array. Add the following printVarSummary statements to your code right before line 51:</div><div><div>printVarSummary(data)</div><div>printVarSummary(var1_reorder)</div></div><div>You will see that data is a float array and var1_reorder is a double array, and thus this line will exit out in error:</div><div>data(0,:) = var1_reorder(120,:)</div><div><br></div><div>The solution is to set data to a double array. (That way you can pass float or double arrays into it.)</div><div>data = new((/2,dimsizes(var1_reorder(120,:))/),double)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Or, if you know that both of your input files are of the same type you can use the typeof function to match the data array type to the var1_reorder data type:</div><div>data = new((/2,dimsizes(var1_reorder(120,:))/),typeof(var1_reorder))<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps. If not, or if you have any further questions please respond to ncl-talk.</div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 2:03 PM, BLIUJUS, STEVEN D CTR USAF AFMC AFLCMC/HBAW-OL <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:steven.bliujus.3.ctr@us.af.mil" target="_blank">steven.bliujus.3.ctr@us.af.mil</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I am trying to create a line graph with two lines (one variable from each<br>
