Re: WRF output - correction

Dear Tugba Agacayak,

The map outlines are there, but they're hard to see.

It looks like you are using most of the defaults supplied by the
wrf_map_overlays function for setting up the map. This routine
internally sets your map outlines to the color "gray", and it makes
the outlines a thickness of 0.5, which is half the normal thickness.
These two settings combined with colorful contours can make it hard to
see the outlines.

Try setting these resources before you call wrf_map_overlays:

   mpres@mpGeophysicalLineColor = "black"
   mpres@mpGeophysicalLineThicknessF = 1.0 ; you can make this
thicker, with 1.5, 2.0, etc.

If you really want to make sure that your map outlines are being drawn
last, you can further set:

   mpres@mpOutlineDrawOrder = "PostDraw"

I think that last resource may already be set to "PostDraw", so I'm
not sure you'll see much difference there.
