I do see the file inside $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps , where all the colormaps are located.<br>
I have these environment variables set, see the following, do you see anything wrong?<br>
Thank you a lot!<br>

Hi Paolina,<br>
<br>
I don't see in your script where or what is calling for that colormap? In any case, it sounds like its not being found. Do you have an environment variable NCARG_ROOT set? If so, the colormap should reside in $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps -- do you see a file named "BlueWhiteOrangeRed.rgb" there?<br>
<br>

Hello NCL people,<br>
<br>
I am trying to plot a SCM output from a ncl script<br>
but-as other times- I get this error about<br>
ColorMap resource.<br>
Since in this case I have a white background it turns out<br>
that no box is drawn around the graphs.<br>
I attach the script.<br>
What is wrong in this case?<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Paolina<br>
