Re: Clipping Outside of Map Viewport

Bruce,

What are you currently trying to use to plot the text?

In order to plot random text outside of any plot (map or not), you
need to use NDC (normalized device coordinates), and not plot
coordinates. This is what the gsn_text_ndc function is for.

If you are trying to accomplish this by creating a tickmark object
yourself, then this should work. However, you have to know some things
about this in order for it to work properly (like getting the zone
number correct and doing the overlay properly).

So, I need to know how you are currently adding the text before
I know how to properly answer the question.
