Hi Xi,<br>
<br>
have you taken a look at the first example of the vector examples
page<br>
   <a href="http://ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/vector_1.ncl" target="_blank">http://ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/vector_1.ncl</a><br>
<br>
When you want to control the minimum/maximum and interval of the
contour lines use<br>
<pre> res@cnLevelSelectionMode = "ManualLevels" ; set manual contour levels
res@cnMinLevelValF = 24.0 ; set min contour level
res@cnMaxLevelValF = 29 ; set max contour level
res@cnLevelSpacingF = 0.10 ; set contour spacing
</pre>
Bye,<br>
Karin<br>

Could you please tell me how to control the contour interval
for color shading once im using this function <b>gsn_csm_vector_scalar_map</b>.<br>
