Re: File Dimensions

Brandon,

Without seeing your script, I can only guess at what's causing the
error message.

I think the line it is complaining about inside of WRFUserARW.ncl is
this one:

   opts2_at_tiMainString = SubTitles

The SubTitles can come from a number of things, depending on your WRF
file.

The error message is indicating that the title used from the previous
time in the loop is actually either a different size or type than it
is the current time in the loop

Can you send me the script so I can see what the line causing the
error message looks like?
