[ncl-talk] drawing satellite passes(14 per day)

Hi Ipsita,
First, a developer noted that when I stated earlier that cnRasterSmoothingOn
= True would slow things down that I was incorrect. That resource should
not slow things down (that much).
I was thinking of cnSmoothingOn = True, which can slow things down.

So you are able to draw each swath individually (+correctly). I had you do
that to make sure that you could draw each individually before overlaying.
When you go to overlay them you state "it is not giving me the expected
plot with multiple overlying orbital swath." Can you please send us a
picture showing the overlay plot and tell us what is incorrect about it?

As always respond to ncl-talk and not to me personally.
Adam
