You are trying to plot dots with polymarkers while you should try to put <b class="">all the data</b> in the same array (data) and then plot everything with gsn_csm_xy. If you want to use markers instead of lines for only 1 variable you can use the resource (note the final <b class=""><u class="">s</u></b>!):</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> <font face="Menlo" class="">res@xyMarkLineMode<b class=""><u class="">s</u></b> = (/“Lines”,"Lines”,"Lines","Markers"/) </font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Then, without any other change,the legend should know whether to put lines or markers..Remember that you have to specify all the marker and line resources as array. </div><div class="">The only problem may arise if the dataset that you are using to plot either lines or markers have different dimensions but you can still fill the missing part with Fill Values. I think this would be the best approach ;) </div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
