Re: non color skew T for publication (Solution!!)

Boa Tarde Dennis and NCLers,
I found a way to make nice black and white plots for the skewT.

The colormap should be gsdtol, not gsltod:
  wks = gsn_open_wks ("ps", "test")
  gsn_define_colormap(wks,"gsdtol")

and then setting the line color option as follows gives nice strong black
lines over a white and gray background inside the skewT and a white
background over which black wind barbs are plotted.

;*****************************************************************
; First sounding
;*****************************************************************
  dataOpts_at_colTemperature = "black"
  dataOpts_at_colDewPt = dataOpts_at_colTemperature
  skewt_data = skewT_PlotData (wks, skewt_bkgd, p,tc,tdc,z \
                                    , wspd,wdir, dataOpts)
  draw (skewt_data)

;*****************************************************************
; Second sounding [bogus data: original altered slightly]
;*****************************************************************

  dataOpts_at_xpWind = 40. ; new location for winds [default 45]
  dataOpts_at_colTemperature = "black"
  dataOpts_at_colDewPt = dataOpts_at_colTemperature
  dataOpts_at_colWindP = dataOpts_at_colTemperature
  dataOpts_at_linePatternDewPt = 2
  dataOpts_at_linePatternTemperature = 2
  skewt_data = skewT_PlotData (wks, skewt_bkgd, p2,tc2,tdc2,z2 \
                                    , wspd2,wdir2, dataOpts)

  draw (skewt_data)
  frame(wks)

cumprimentos desde Manaus,
Dave
