[ncl-talk] Using vp resources for panelling different sized WRF contour plots

[Tabish Ansari]

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your response.
I tried to include the following lines in the panelplot script:











*plot = new(2,graphic)                          ; create a plot
arrayplot(0) = wrf_map_overlays(a,wks,(/contour_d01/),pltres,mpres)  ; Plot
the data over a map background;---Retrieve the height used for the first
plot and apply to second plot  getvalues plot(0)    "vpHeightF" : vph  end
getvalues  pltres at vpHeightF                   = vphplot(1) =
wrf_map_overlays(c,wks,(/contour_d04/),pltres,False)  *

However, it still plots them with different height.

Does the wrf_map_overlays() function does not accept these resources?

Thanks
