[ncl-talk] How to plot large size data to contour

[Tao Lu]

Mary,

Thank you for your helpful information.
I will try that.

On my occasion, i am more interested in how to add some data to contour.
You know when you make contour plot you have to assign the data to array.
If the data is too big, the array will be over memory allowed.
So i want to know if it is  possible to divide a single complete contour
(e.g. pressure contour of specific time) into several part.
Just like, "a" in *write_table*("list.txt", "a", flist, "%s"), which means
add.
You plot one part , then add other parts of the contour plot.

Thank you,
Tao
