[ncl-talk] Fwd: Make a plot

[Kwesi Quagraine]

Hello Mary, thanks for the "lbLabelStrings" command. I come back to you
again on this. Was wondering instead of making 12 plots of Jan - December,
How can I show all this in just a plot and label them according to the
months as is seen in the picture?
