[ncl-talk] New York Map issue(s)

[Bassill, Nicholas]

Hi All,
    New subscriber, so bear with me here. Two things - (1) a likely bug, and (2) a question. I'm using NCL 6.3.


(1) It appears that the state boundaries for New York are slightly off in the far western boundary. I'm attaching an image (NY.png) that plots the state of NY, but with data that is specifically limited by the *actual* western border to demonstrate this.


The relevant map settings are:


res at mpDataBaseVersion           = "Ncarg4_1"
res at mpDataSetName               = "Earth..4"
res at mpFillAreaSpecifiers        = (/"Land", "Land:North America:United States:Conterminous US:New York","Water"/)
res at mpSpecifiedFillColors       = (/"white","transparent",       "white"/)
res at mpInlandWaterFillColor      = 238
res at mpLandFillColor             = -1     ; transparent
res at mpOutlineOn                 = True
res at mpMaskOutlineSpecifiers =   (/"Land"/)
res at mpOutlineSpecifiers =   (/ "Land:North America:United States:Conterminous US:New York"/)
res at mpDataBaseVersion = "MediumRes"



(2) Partially based off of that, and in an effort to have a more detailed coastline, I decided to try the "HighRes" dataset. However, I am not able to successfully do any masking. In this case I want *only* a fill in the shape of NY. For this I'm attaching the dataset I'm using (currenttemp.dat), the script I'm using (temp.ncl, based largely on http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/mask_8.ncl for the mask), and a sample image (current.png).


Any help with (2) would be greatly appreciated!
