[ncl-talk] Overlaying two maps with different axes

[Guido Cioni]

Yes you can do it and, as suggested by Adam, you just have to re-arrange your call to draw. 

Here is an example. Suppose qc is 2-D (time, height) and hbl is 1-D (time). Then you can overlay them like this 

resc at gsnDraw = False
resc at gsnFrame = False

...resources for contour plot...

resxy at gsnDraw = False
resxy at gsnFrame = False

...resources for xy plot...

resc at sfYArray = height
resc at sfXArray = time

plot = gsn_csm_contour(wks,qc,resc)
over = gsn_csm_xy(wks,time,hbl,resxy)
overlay(plot,over)

draw(plot)
frame(wks)

The overlay function will take care of adjusting the axes, unless you have completely different values. In that case you need to re-define the x and y axes to be the same values. 

The result looks something like this (ignore the red line): qc is the filled contour and hbl the grey dashed line
