I've taken your resource settings, and created my own script that plots HGT from a WRF file, and then masks some of the data values and plots it again in gold, using the same settings you have. It seems to work just fine for me. See attached. You should be able to run this script on your own WRF output data by simply changing the name of the WRF output file in the script.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">The PNG images look a little weird (shifted towards the lower right of the screen) because wrf_contour is really not meant to be used as a standalone function.

I have my MGPV variable subset to just negative values using "where", and want to plot the resultant field of only negative MGPV values in gold. However, when using RasterFill, it defaults to plotting in pink, no matter what I try. I do the same process with RH, but since it is not a RasterFill, is plots in green as expected. If I add the line opts@cnFillMode = "RasterFill" to the relative humidity opts, it overrides my request and plots in clown colors, so I know that this is an error specific to RasterFill plotting.
