<div dir="ltr">Hi Dave,<div>No matter what I do I'm ending up in the same place as you: A blank plot. Altering the range of the Y-axis outside the y-axis range of your data does not look possible when the grid is curvilinear/irregular as Rick stated. Short of manually using gsn_add_annotation and adding a blank plot on either end of your y-axis, I'm not sure what to suggest here. </div><div>Adam</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 8, 2019 at 9:53 AM David Bailey <<a href="mailto:dbailey@ucar.edu">dbailey@ucar.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi Adam,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I am trying overlay, but it is not happy with me.

I have tried trYMax and sfYCEndV, but these are ignored and the minimum value in on the sfYArray axis is always chosen. Has anyone had experience with this and have a workaround?
