Hi, Rick

I think that will help!

Thanks for the suggestion,
Kacie

Hi Kacie,

The awkward numbering suffix to the filenames comes because PNG is not a multi-page/multi-frame file format, so multiple plots to the same workstation device cause this to happen. Perhaps one solution is to, after each plot you generate, you could delete the workstation variable (ie.g,  delete(wks), which despite the verbiage, merely causes it to close the file), and then re-open a new workstation with the textual prefix you want it to have for the next plot.

Hope that helps!
Rick

Hello!!

Just wondering if there's a way to manually define all, or at least change a handful of, my output file name suffixes. For example, the current method for file naming looks like this:

    wks = gsn_open_wks(wksType,"myFileName")

And output for multiple plots would then be numbered in the order they are plotted:

    myFileName.00001.png
    myFileName.00002.png
    myFileName.00003.png
    etc.

Is it possible, in NCL, to have the files come out with defined strings as suffixes, such as:

    myFileName.temp.png
    myFileName.theta.png
    myFileName.winds.png

or something like that?

Thanks!
Kacie
