[ncl-talk] Label string

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

Its unclear what might be wrong without seeing your script. If this is
exactly what you have in your script...

cnExplicitLabelBarLabelsOn = True
lbLabelBarOn               = True
lbLabelsOn                 = True
lbBoxLinesOn               = False
lbBoxSeparatorLinesOn      = False
lbLabelStrings             = (/"100","150","200","250"/)

...then this would not have any effect on your plot, although I would have
expected some sort of reasonable defaults. The above is setting *variables*
by those names -- you want to set *resources* that then get passed into the
plotting function; something like:

res = True
...
res at cnExplicitLabelBarLabelsOn = True
res at lbLabelBarOn               = True
res at lbLabelsOn                 = True
res at lbBoxLinesOn               = False
res at lbBoxSeparatorLinesOn      = False
res at lbLabelStrings             = (/"100","150","200","250"/)
...
plot = gsn_csm_contour_XXX(wks, ....., res)

Is this what you have?
