[ncl-talk] define infill color for inland water bodies

[Dennis Shea]

The wrf_* were written by wrfhelp. You should send questions to
wrfhelp at ucar.edu on all of these functions. You can cc ncl-talk at ucar.edu

As noted, the resources may not be allowed or are overwritten by the wrf
code.
I'd suggest extracting the function from the library, modifying the
function and then calling the modified function.

Good luck
