[ncl-talk] Regional stereographic plot - latitude labels

[David Hebert, Code 7322]

Hi Adam,

 

Works great, thank you! I put the add_map_tickmarks2 function in its own .ncl file and load it at the top of my plotting script. Makes it easier to use with other plotting scripts.  

 

Thank you!

Hi David,

There's a function (add_map_tickmarks2) that you can use embedded in some of the NCL examples that will add tick mark labels to rectangular projections. I took mptick example #9 here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/mptick.shtml#ex9

and modified it to (mostly) match your projection. The script can be run on its' own and runs quickly, making trial and error less painful. I have attached the modified script and the resulting graphic. 

Hope that helps!

Adam

I am attempting to make a regional plot using stereographic projection, and limit the projection using ‘corners’. I am getting only  longitude labels along the bottom and left plot boundary. See attached plot. 

 

The relevant settings I am using in my script are:

 

  res at mpProjection          = "Stereographic"

  res at gsnAddCyclic          = False

  res at mpGridAndLimbOn       = True              ; turn on lat/lon lines

  res at mpPerimOn             = False             ; turn off box around plot

  res at pmTickMarkDisplayMode = "Always"      ; turn on ticks

 

  res at tmYROn = False

  res at tmXTOn = False

 

  res at mpGridLonSpacingF = 15.

  res at mpGridLatSpacingF = 2.

 

  ; set map limits based on tlat,tlon

    res at mpLimitMode        = "Corners"

    res at mpLeftCornerLatF   = tlat(0,0)

    res at mpLeftCornerLonF   = tlon(0,0)

    res at mpRightCornerLatF  = tlat(nj2-1,ni2-1)

    res at mpRightCornerLonF  = tlon(nj2-1,ni2-1)

    res at mpRelativeCenterLon         = True      ; set a center lon

    res at mpCenterLonF                = 180.0

    res at mpRelativeCenterLat         = True       ; set a center lat

    res at mpCenterLatF                = -90.0           ; center lat

 

Any suggestions on how to get the latitude labels on the left axis? Thank you for your help!
