[ncl-talk] any easy way to use gsn_text to add curved text?

[Mary Haley]

Hi Xiaoming,

Sorry about the disabling of your membership.  I understand that we are
having some problems with the "mailmain" software, and it may have disabled
you based on faulty information. We only unsubscribe people ourselves if
they starting spamming the group.

Regarding the curved text question, this is doable via the special
"gsLineLabelString" resource and the use of the "|" character, which helps
the text follow the curve of the line. Unfortunately, this script does not
appears to not be working in NCL versions 6.2.0, 6.2,1, or 6.3.0.  I've
filed a ticket on this, and am hoping I'm missing something obvious. It
works under version 6.1.2 and earlier.

I've attached the example script and image.  Let me know if this is not
what you are looking for.  If you have NCL V6.2.x or later and need to use
this feature, then I'll try to get you a fix once we have one.

--Mary
