<div dir="ltr">Hi Tao,<div>I believe you corresponded with someone offline about this. I have some experience modifying the taylor_diagram function, but I have not done what you are looking for so I can only offer recommendations. You will likely need to make several attempts getting all the resources set the way you want; hopefully your test script runs quickly!</div><div><br></div><div>To answer your 3 questions:</div><div>1 - Yes.</div><div>2 - I believe this is possible. Steps required:</div><div> - Copy the <a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/taylor_diagram.ncl">taylor_diagram.ncl</a> code, and saving it as (say) taylor_diagram_2.ncl. </div><div> - Alter the function name at the top to taylor_diagram_2 (at line one of taylor_diagram_2.ncl). </div><div> - In your new function, go to the section entitled "Part 3". You will see a resource list that is initiated 5 lines beneath "Part 3" named respl. I would try adding the following resource settings <b>beneath</b> the current respl resource settings:</div><div> respl@gsLineDashSegLenF = 0.30. ; Controls spacing between line labels; this setting will require some trial and error.</div><div> respl@gsLineLabelFontColor = respl@gsLineColor</div><div> respl@gsLineLabelFontHeightF = 0.0125. ; this font height setting might need adjustment</div><div><br></div><div> - Then, within the "do n-1,ncon" do loop, you will need to tell NCL how to label the lines, so try this:</div><div> do n=1,ncon</div> rr = n*dx <div> res@gsLineLabelString = rr. ; add this line</div><div><br></div><div>That should do it. As I stated in the comments above, you will likely need to adjust the setting for gsLineDashSegLenF and gsLineLabelFontHeightF.</div><div><br></div><div>3 - Yes. Search within the function for the resource "gsLineColor". You can adjust these as needed.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps!</div><div>Adam</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Mar 25, 2023 at 3:00 PM Tao Zhang via ncl-talk <<a href="mailto:ncl-talk@mailman.ucar.edu">ncl-talk@mailman.ucar.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I can reproduce the taylor_4 figure using the sample script in<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Images/taylor_4_1_lg.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Images/taylor_4_1_lg.png</a><br>

<br>
But I want Figure 1 in<br>
<br>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_diagram#:~:text=Taylor%20diagrams%20are%20mathematical%20diagrams,comparative%20assessment%20of%20different%20models" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_diagram#:~:text=Taylor%20diagrams%20are%20mathematical%20diagrams,comparative%20assessment%20of%20different%20models</a><br>
<br>
Which shows the standard deviation (0~4 mm/day), not the standardized <br>
deviations (normalized) (0-1.5).<br>
<br>
1) May I only change the taylor_4.ncl for my purpose, but keep the <br>
loaded "taylor_diagram.ncl" unchanged?<br>
<br>
2) How to add "observed value" in the Taylor diagram as shown in Figure <br>
1 in above link?<br>
<br>
3) How to change the color in 3 lines of standard deviation, <br>
correlation, and RMS?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
