<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to plot a simple map of a few counties and roads in South Dakota using NCL 6.3.0. To do this, I've downloaded USA county shapefiles (from "<a href="http://www.gadm.org/country">http://www.gadm.org/country</a>") and SD road network shapefiles (from "<a href="http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html">http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html</a>"). Then, I use gsn_add_shapefile_polylines to add the USA counties to an existing map in my code, but I get this error message:</div><div><br></div><div>
<p class=""><span class="">(0)<span class=""> </span>Error: gsn_add_shapefile_polylines: Can't open shapefile '/home/matt.flournoy/PECAN/overview/July06/new_shp/USA_adm_shp/USA_adm2.shp'</span></p><p class="">(0)<span class=""> </span> No shapefile information will be added.</p><p class=""><br></p><p class="">I get the same error if I try inputing the road network shapefile, except that the directory in the first error message is the directory where the road network shapefile is. The map is plotted when I run the code, but the shapefile information is not on them.</p><p class="">Does anyone know what may be causing this issue? I've attached the code that I'm using, which is very similar to the NCL example online about reading in USA county shapefiles from the same site as above.</p><p class="">Thank you,</p><p class="">Matt</p></div><div><br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Matthew Flournoy<div>M.S.
