Re: map error

Michael,

I think part of the problem is that the names being used are wrong.

To draw the counties of Wisconsin, you need to list them out.

I don't understand, though, why the map resource documentation doesn't
include a list of the county names. Maybe I'm missing something.

Try the attached script and let me know if this helps you get started.
I'm just drawing a map, but you should be able to apply these same
resources
to a contour name.

To get the names of the Wisconsin counties, see the code after the
plot call.
I grepped for "Wisconsin" in the output.

ncl wisc.ncl | grep Wisconsin

There's a better way of doing this using string functions, but I'm in
a bit of a crunch right now.
