[ncl-talk] Overlapping of tick marks in NCL-6.2.0

[denizbozkurt]

Hi Mary,

I have modified the code based on your recommendations: I used "overlay" instead of gsn_csm_vector_scalar_map and modified the resources and finally just added "tfDoNDCOverlay" for contour as well. It is working well now.

Thanks a lot for your help.

When I run the code with NCL-5.2.1, it produces the figure well. I also run the code with NCL-6.1.2, but the overlapping still exists.
