[ncl-talk] CvtStringGenArrayToColorIndexGenArray error

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Joshua,
I am not getting the error message when using your resource list (minus the
map limit selections). This is odd. Can you try eliminating most of the
resources, and see if the error message disappears? If so, then start
adding resources back one or two at a time until you find the offending
resource. If the debugging doesn't work, then (assuming you're running on
cheyenne) offline send me the location of your script so I can take a look.
