<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" moz-do-not-send="true">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>

<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" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">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" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">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>
<br>
Tao<br>
