[ncl-talk] no value at the equator and additional line using gsn_add_polygon

Fri Oct 13 13:08:50 MDT 2017

That example is filling in the array from opposite ends in one loop.  e.g.
first half is in the normal order, second half is in the reverse order.

e.g.
nlat=30
xp    = new( (/2*nlat/), float )

do k=0,nlat-1
    xp(k)          =(k)
    xp(2*nlat-1-k) = (k)
    print(""+(2*nlat-1-k)+"     "+k)
end do

so if you print(xp) at the end it is 0..10..20..30..20..10..0   Your way
would have been 0..10..20..30..0..10..20..30

Draw the shape by hand without lifting the pen.  You'd draw the lower edge,
up, then top edge back to the start. The way you were doing it, was to draw
the bottom edge, straight line back to the start, then draw top edge and
finish with a straight line back to the start again.

Look at the arrays, print(xp+"   ,    "+yp)  it should become clear what
has changed.
