[ncl-talk] If statement

Fri Feb 24 10:04:49 MST 2023

Hi Dennis

Many thanks for your speedy response.
I have gotten confused in which variable I am trying to set.
What I actually want to do is select years which appear in the x axis differently based on their certainty.
For example I want to make the year 1858 show up as a pink bar instead of a red bar to show less certainty.
Therefore I will need to make an if statement to reflect that for the x axis - however I have used the function fspan in my x value expression so not sure how to do this.

Would this maybe work?
 if ((fspan.eq.1857) .or. (fspan.eq.1858) .or. (fspan.eq.1859)) then
sres at gsnXYBarChartColors = (/"pink"/)
else
sres at gsnXYBarChartColors = (/"red"/)
end if
        plot1 = gsn_csm_xy(wks,fspan(1855.6,1888.7,34),stdarr(:,0),sres)

Many thanks for all your help!

Kindest Regards
Melissa

Subject: Re: [ncl-talk] If statement

I have not looked at the script but:
---
do hh = 0,33
        stdarr(hh,0) = (/ (yIndex(hh::34)) /)
---

hh is a scalar. So, when (say) hh=0

       stdarr(0,0) = (/ (yIndex(0::34)) /)     ; ==> 35 elements of yIndex

35 elements are being assigned to one array element.

NCL should have issued an error message.

Maybe, I am missing something!

Hi All NCL Users

I am struggling with a conditional statement that I would like to perform.
Essentially, I am trying to make some bars pink instead of red to show a difference in uncertainty.
I have the following code below to perform this but I think there is an error with how I am looping the array.

  do hh = 0,33
        stdarr(hh,0) = (/ (yIndex(hh::34)) /)

 if ((hh.eq.1) .or. (hh.eq.2) .or. (hh.eq.3)) then
sres at gsnXYBarChartColors = (/"pink"/)
else
sres at gsnXYBarChartColors = (/"red"/)
end if
        plot1 = gsn_csm_xy(wks,fspan(1855.6,1888.7,34),stdarr(hh,0),sres)           ; draw each time series

   end do

This error occurs:
(0)     gsn_csm_xy: Fatal: X and Y must have the same dimensions sizes, or one must be one-dimensional and both have the same rightmost dimension.

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Many thanks!

Kindest Regards
Melissa
