Dear NCL users:
I am having trouble controling the display of longitude labels on a
map for data I plot. I had this trouble before and I was able to
remedy it by setting tickmark resources. I have recently upgraded
from NCL 4.2.0.a014 to 4.2.0.a018 and now my troubles are back.
Due to some other trouble I had with gsn_code.ncl and gsn_csm.ncl
supplied in version a018, I retrieved the latest versions of these.
I have attached my ncl script below. The data plots fine. However,
I cannot control the XB labeling using tmXBTickSpacingF (note
I have this commented out). If I try to set this resource, I receive
the following errors;
fatal:Assignment type mismatch, right hand side can't be coerced to type
of left hand side
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 2514 in file
/home/mgf9/gsn_csm.ncl
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 3149 in file
/home/mgf9/gsn_csm.ncl
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 3557 in file
/home/mgf9/gsn_csm.ncl
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 6391 in file
/home/mgf9/gsn_csm.ncl
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 102
If I comment out this resource, things work fine but I cannot control
the x axis labeling. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Matt
