I see you are trying to use wrf_map_overlays() to overlay the shapefiles on your contour plot. This function is used to overlay plots that have been created by the various wrf_ plotting routines (wrf_contour, wrf_vector, etc). onto a map background.</div><div><br></div><div>Polylines, polygons, extra text, etc. are drawn onto an *existing* plot and that's why you are getting the error message -- argument 1 should be the name of that plot. I think you need to rearrange things something like:</div><div><br></div><div>res = opts</div><div>res@gsnDraw = False ;; these two lines are superfluous, as wrf_contour doesn't draw immediately. They are required for gsn_xxx plotting routines<br></div><div>res@gsnFrame = False ;; because those routines draw immediately, not leaving a chance to draw polylines on top. These 2 prevent that auto draw. <br></div><div>.....</div><div>contour = wrf_contour(.....)</div><div>ind0_id = gsn_add_shapefile_polylines(wks,<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">contour,</span>ind0_shp_name,mpres,lnres)</div><div>ind1_id = gsn_add_shapefile_polylines(wks,<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">contour,</span>ind1_shp_name,mpres,lnres)</div><div>draw(contour)</div><div>frame(wks)</div><div><br></div><div>Rick<br></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Apr 5, 2019 at 6:17 AM Ganesan M <<a href="mailto:ganeshcuraj@gmail.com">ganeshcuraj@gmail.com</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 dir="ltr"><div>I am new to ncl, I am trying to plot wrf model output wind speed over Indian region. now normally the plots are generated, at this point I am trying to overlay India shapefile to the generated plot to see the state boundaries. but I am getting errors as follows,</div><div><br></div><div>fatal:Argument type mismatch on argument (1) of (gsn_add_shapefile_polylines) can not coerce<br>fatal:["Execute.c":8578]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 24 in file WRF_vector_contour.ncl</div><div><br></div><div>I am not able to figure where I am going wrong here.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I need to know, whether there is any pre-buit ncl script to load, as to show the India map with state boundaries.
