Hi Jonathan,

Just to be clear, wk* resources are passed into the workstation at the time
it is created:

    wkstype = "pdf"
    wkstype at wkBackgroundOpacityF = 0.0
    wks = gsn_open_wks(wkstype, "myPlotName")

Is that what you've tried?  I also forget when this resource was
introduced, but its a relatively new feature, so the latest NCL version may
be needed.

Rick
