[ncl-talk] Error bars

[Mary Haley]

Hi Guilherme,

Sorry about the delay in response.  The issue is simply that you need to
make sure that when you call gsn_add_polyxxxx, the variable on the left
side of the "=" is unique every time.

Usually when you see this type of error:

warning:TransformPreDraw: tfPolyDrawList element 127 is invalid

it has to do with the variable not being unique.

You almost had it, as you defined "error_bars" and "centers" as "id"
arrays.  But, these are defined inside of a larger loop across "i", and so
every time you go through another iteration of "i", the old error_bars and
centers ids were getting clobbered and reset.

One way around this is to not predefine any arrays at all, and instead just
create a dummy attribute that you can attach to "plot", and make sure this
dummy attribute has a unique name every time.  Here's one way to do that:

    tmp_str = "centers" + i*10 + t   ; give attr a unique name
    plot@$tmp_str$   = gsn_add_polymarker(wks,plot(0,0),t,pin_n(t),polyres)
    tmp_str = "error_bar" + i*10 + t
    plot@$tmp_str$ =
gsn_add_polyline(wks,plot(0,0),(/t,t/),(/pin_n(t)+stddev(p
in_n),pin_n(t)-stddev(pin_n)/),polyres)
