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

Thanks a lot!

Your template script works on my computer. 

But When I create a new script, it doesn't work. 
See http://www.caps.ou.edu/micronet/HurricaneImpactonO3/WRFV3.6.1/YSU/wrfNARR3dWSM6_CONUS_UCM_YSU.2011080700/test_curvedtext.000001.png

The line shows up, but the Line Label does not show up.  (I tried both version 5.2.1, and 6.1.3)
See my script: 
http://www.caps.ou.edu/micronet/HurricaneImpactonO3/WRFV3.6.1/YSU/wrfNARR3dWSM6_CONUS_UCM_YSU.2011080700/test.ncl

Could you please tell me anything wrong? 

Thanks a lot!

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.

Is there any easy way to add curved text like "Balcones Fault Zone" in the following figure? 
Thanks a lot!
