[ncl-talk] X axis tick mark with Explicit Mode

Hi Prasad,
Please do not write to individuals who respond to ncl-talk and not to
ncl-talk itself, as that way others can assist and see the resolution of
the issue. My original email still stands: The range of values specified in
tmXBValues needs to match the range of x-axis coordinate values of the
plotted array. In your case, from your printVarSummary output, you have
latitudes that are around 30N:
lat: [29.84782..33.84531]
so you will want to set tmXBValues to have values between 29.84 and 33.84.
For example:
resx at tmXBMode = "Explicit"
resx at tmXBValues = fspan(29.5,34,10)
resx at tmXBLabels = resx at tmXBValues
