[ncl-talk] Legend as a break in curve in a time-series plot

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Tabish,
A good find with xy_14.ncl
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/xy_14.ncl>, but it looks to
me like xyExplicitLabels allows one to put in an array of strings. Thus,
did you try something like this: res at xyExplicitLabels = (/"Line 1","Line
2"/)
