[ncl-talk] A graph made in a day

Hello:

For those who would like to compare GFS and WRF data, I have attached the
following.
I hope all is well.

I'd like to mention that I did this in just one day,  Thus, I have to
commend the programmers and writers who put examples/documentation  on the
web. (I had never made line graphs before using NCL.)

The program does many different things based on NCL, so it is a good
example for those trying to learn (Of course, improvements can be made).

It does the following:

1) It reads GFS data.

2) It reads WRF data

3) It converts WRF times to calendar dates.

4) It puts both horizontal and vertical labels.

5) It uses two different colors for the lines and their labels.

6) It has main and axis titles, including dates on the xaxis.

7) It automatically sets the bounds based on the data.

8) It takes an area within the overall domain to plot just part of the data
(based on lat/lon bounds).

9) It uses objective analysis for grid interpolation.

It makes 4 graphs, but anyone is welcome to add additional ones.  You could
also use get_ij.f and create time series for individual stations.

Please write if you have questions.
