[ncl-talk] Plot Pressure reduced to MSL with contours.

[Rabah Hachelaf]

Hi All,

May be this is an easy issue for you but i have some errors when i try to
plot Pmsl variable using gsn_contour_map .

When using the ncl script below i get this error :

fatal:ContourPlotDraw: coordinates are out of range for drawing over a map:
standard line or line label rendering method will not work;
 consider setting the resource trGridType to "TriangularMesh" if
coordinates contain missing values
