[ncl-talk] Antarctic map outline database

[Manisha Ganeshan]

Thanks, Rick! I've downloaded the shapefile, and am able to plot an
accurate version of Antarctica's coastline.

Presently, I use cnFillDrawOrder = predraw for masking out the continents.
I'm wondering if there's a way to direct this function to use the shapefile
for masking the continent instead of the default "DataBase" version.

Thanks,
Manisha
