Re: Drawing wind barbs on a map

Hi-
Updated:
I think the issue is that wmbarbmap needs to be associated with the
gsn_csm_contour_map call. However, when I change that I have to turn off
gsnMaximize to get it to fit the map, but it still doesn't like to be
paneled. So I guess I need to use the vpXF and vpYF and associated
resources.
