<p>Hi All,<br>
New subscriber, so bear with me here. Two things - (1) a likely bug, and (2) a question. I'm using NCL 6.3. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>(1) It appears that the state boundaries for New York are slightly off in the far western boundary. I'm attaching an image (NY.png) that plots the state of NY, but with data that is specifically limited by the *actual* western border to demonstrate this.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The relevant map settings are:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>res@mpDataBaseVersion = "Ncarg4_1"</div>
<div>res@mpDataSetName = "Earth..4" </div>
<div>res@mpFillAreaSpecifiers = (/"Land", "Land:North America:United States:Conterminous US:New York","Water"/)</div>
<div>res@mpSpecifiedFillColors = (/"white","transparent", "white"/)</div>
<div>res@mpInlandWaterFillColor = 238</div>
<div>res@mpLandFillColor = -1 ; transparent</div>
<div>res@mpOutlineOn = True</div>
<div>res@mpMaskOutlineSpecifiers = (/"Land"/)</div>
<div>res@mpOutlineSpecifiers = (/ "Land:North America:United States:Conterminous US:New York"/)</div>
<div>res@mpDataBaseVersion = "MediumRes"</div>
<br>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>(2) Partially based off of that, and in an effort to have a more detailed coastline, I decided to try the "HighRes" dataset. However, I am not able to successfully do any masking. In this case I want *only* a fill in the shape of NY. For this I'm attaching
the dataset I'm using (currenttemp.dat), the script I'm using (temp.ncl, based largely on <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/mask_8.ncl" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk638081" previewremoved="true">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/mask_8.ncl</a> for
the mask), and a sample image (current.png). </p>
<br>
<p>Any help with (2) would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p><br>
