[ncl-talk] SKEW-T line colors

[Ioana Colfescu]

Thanks very much Adam.
One more question - is there a way to have different colours for the
Isobars and Isotherms ?
I see they seem to be both the same in color and if I change that they all
change ( except the green for the adaiabats etc) in
ncarg/nclscripts/csm/skewt_func.ncl
.
Thanks very much,
Ioana
