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

[Tabish Ansari]

Hi Adam,

Thanks.

Since all the 10 lines are supplied to a single gsn_csm_xy which has only
one "res", how can I assign a different res at xyLineDashSegLenF for each line?
Can I supply it as an array?
Is that possible?

Cheers,

Tabish
