Re: Plotting field minimum and maximum values

Hi Justin,

You can get much more complicated than this by trying to make this more
automated with respect to where the min/max are plotted on the
workstation, but something like this should work:

res = True
....
res_at_gsnFrame = False

plot = gsn_csm_contour_map_ce(wks,arr,res)

txres = True
txres_at_txJust = "CenterLeft"
txres_at_txFontColor = "red"
gsn_text_ndc(wks,"MAX="+sprintf("%6.2f",max(arr)),0.3,0.25,txres)
txres_at_txFontColor = "blue"
gsn_text_ndc(wks,"MIN="+sprintf("%6.2f",min(arr)),0.3,0.22,txres)
frame(wks)

You will need to set the X and Y NDC coordinates in the gsn_text_ndc
call appropriately. drawNDCGrid could be of assistance here in setting
the NDC coordinates:

Good luck,
Adam
