[ncl-talk] label the plot using the own created list

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Jiashu,
If you setting the following:
res at tmXBMode        = "Explicit"
res at tmXBValues      = ispan(0,ntimes-1,1)
you generally want to tell NCL what labels to use by setting tmXBLabels:
res at tmXBLabels      = date_list
I see you have the tmXBLabels line in your script (commented out) but I do
not see a date_list array initialized anywhere.

Furthermore, you have this line:
res at lbLabelStrings  = date_list
(Again, date_list is not initialized prior to this line.) In order to
explicitly set the lbLabelStrings for a contour plot you also have to
set cnExplicitLegendLabelsOn = True.
See documentation here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/cn.shtml#cnExplicitLabelBarLabelsOn

Hope that helps. If not, or if you have any further questions please
respond to the ncl-talk email list.
Adam
