<div name="messageBodySection" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;">Hi again Adam,
<div><br /></div>
<div>Apologies for revisiting this issue, but it seems I need another solution for the problem you identified, i.e., spacing of the axis values being too wide.</div>
<div>I’ve developed the script to now plot the backscattering ratio of CALIPSO as a function of height. In this case, the y-axis is regularly spaced, but the x-axis is </div>
<div>more problematic than before. It seems that simply adjusting the end positions to just slightly beyond the previous point isn’t enough. </div>
<div>This is the final of the histograms with irregular spaced axis values. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>There is new data (see link) and my script is attached.</div>

<div>Appreciate your thoughts/help on/with this,</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Marston,
<div>When I change your y definition to this:</div>
<div>y := (/-2.0,0.0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,4.0,5.0,7.0,9.0,11.0,13.0,15.0,17.0,19.0/)<br /></div>
<div>all is well. NCL seems to have trouble when you set the first value to -99 and the last value to 99, and I'm not clear as to why. Setting them to values closer to the other values in the array seemingly works. I have attached the resulting plot. Note that the space between each of those values on the Y-axis is the same in the misr_fq.png figure. If you set gsnYAxisIrregular2Linear = True the space will be proportional to the differences between the y values. See the attached misr_fq.2.png figure.</div>
<div>Hope that helps!</div>

<div>Thanks to your help/advice/explanation, I got the isccp and modis plots exactly how I want them :-)</div>
<div>But I still cannot get misr to function properly (see attached). For the misr y axis, I want the labels to</div>
<div>be: (/"NR","0","0.5","1.0","1.5","<wbr />2.0","2.5","3.0","4.0","5.0","<wbr />7.0","9.0","11.0","13.0","15.<wbr />0","17.0"," “/), which is 1 greater than the y-coord in the misr array.</div>
<div>Sadly, I still get the same error:</div>

<div>
<div>"warning:_<wbr />NhlCreateSplineCoordApprox: Attempt to create spline approximation for Y axis failed: consider adjusting trYTensionF value</div>

<div>In this case, y is 1 greater than the I’m&hgt. What’s going on here that is different from the other 2 cases?</div>

However, in the raster_plot.ncl script that Mary sent you the coordinate variables (x and y) are of size +1 greater than those dimensions of the im array. This necessitates the use of sfXArray/sfYArray to tell NCL how to plot the data. If the dimension sizes of your data matches those of the desired coordinate variables then you do not need to use sfXArray/sfYArray, assuming the coordinate variables are properly attached to the array.</div>

<div>With your help, I’m able to get the isccp and modis figures to behave better but they are still off. </div>
<div>With these two figures, the contour doesn’t want to line up with the major tick marks.</div>
<div>The 3rd misr fig has a different set of y-axis values, and when I try to plot these I get:</div>

<div>From what I’ve read of this error, it should not occur in my case. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>I could really use your help in nailing this down properly. Why is the contour off and my misr figure causing this error when I’m plotting the y-axis explicitly?</div>
