Adam,
And option number two is the winner. That is exactly what I needed. Using
the txJust is much easier then trying to make a new array.
Thanks,
John Ertl

John,
There is a tx resource called txJust that you should be able to use to get
done
what you wish to accomplish. The default of txJust is "CenterCenter".
(http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/hlu/obj/TextItem.res.html)
(http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/qsg/textitem/tx06.gif)
Thus, a simple short script:
(lat_lat = lat coord)
text_res@txJust = "BottomRight"
gsn_text(wks,map,lat_lat+" ",lon,lat,text_res) ;write lat coord, space(s)
;may be needed
text_res@txJust = "BottomLeft"
gsn_text(wks,map," "+lat_lon,lon,lat,text_res) ;write lon coord, space(s)
;may be needed
Let us know how it turns out.
