[ncl-talk] two color bars, different color tables

[Matt Flournoy]

Sure! I did away with the second workstation (xwks2), and read in the
second color table using read_colormap_file. Now, before I add the second
label bar, I have:

cmap2 = read_colormap_file("BlAqGrYeOrReVi200")

And then set "res_lb at lbFillColors = cmap2". Beforehand, my script had the
equivalent of "res_lb at lbFillColors = "BlAqGrYeOrReVi200", so it didn't know
how to convert that string to a color table.
