[ncl-talk] xy plot line connecting non-missing points

[Mary Haley]

Jared,

You can remove the missing points before doing an XY plot.

Assuming that you have a 1D array for the Y axis (I'll call it "y"), and a
1D array of the same length for the X axis (I'll call it "x"), then
something like this:

index_no_msg = ind(.not.ismissing(y))

plot = gsn_csm_xy(wks,x(index_no_msg),y(index_no_msg),res)
