[ncl-talk] plot error: warning:ContourPlotInitialize: X coordinates out of data range: defaulting

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Ying,
I'm just checking as some lines are not commented: Did you comment out
these lines:
  res at trXMaxF     = 61
  res at trYMinF      = 0.0 ; Limits for Y axis. percentage from 0 to 100.
  res at trYMaxF     = 1.0

If you didn't I would suggest commenting them out and trying again.

With regards to why you are getting two frames: By default gsn_csm_contour
will draw the plot to the workstation and advance to the next frame.
(Advancing to the next frame can be thought of as flipping to the next page
of your workstation.) You have the following right after your
gsn_csm_contour call:
frame(wks)
That line tells NCL to advance the frame. Thus, you have 2 frame calls and
two output pages.

Hope that helps. If not please respond to the ncl-talk email list.
Adam
