I have printed the variables "Time2" and "Prec2" and the output has been integer data as expected. However, the plot function for plot2 still won't take the inputs. I think it is because I had to import as a string to get around the file being a CSV, but I can't find a function I could use to change my variables back to integers. Is there an easy way to accomplish this so the plot will accept my data?<div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_-7696503128924699626gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">-Zach Rieck<div><a href="mailto:zrr817@gmail.com" target="_blank">zrr817@gmail.com</a></div><div>(513)-502-5652</div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 9:41 PM Will Hobbs <<a href="mailto:will.hobbs@utas.edu.au" target="_blank">will.hobbs@utas.edu.au</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">

<p class="MsoNormal">If you look at the function description for gsn_csm_xy(), argument 1 (i.e. ‘time2’ in your example, has to be numeric, but from what I can tell from your script time2 is actually a string. You can check this using either print(typeof(time2))

<p class="MsoNormal">I have been trying to create a script that will hold the frame on my output so we caqn do a side by side comparison of our data in one figure. One data file is a CSV excel file (for which I have generated code to make it readable within
NCL) and the other is a netcdf file. When I comment out my 2nd plot command (line 125), I am able to generate the 1st figure without any errors. However, when I try to run the 2nd plot command, I get an"Argument mismatch on argument" error. This error is attached
for your reference.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your guidelines ask to be able to run the code as I am, so I have also taken the liberty of attaching the data. My best guess is maybe the error is because I'm trying to recycle the resources from my 1st plot in my 2nd? <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have also commented out a few extra lines that are "how to's" for me since I'm still very new to NCL. I am operating on version 6.5.<u></u><u></u></p>
