Re: Taylor diagram

The following illustrates how we handle negative values.

(a) To have ratios as large as 100 is very unusual.
     Even more than 2 is unusual.
(b) log scale: I am not sure how you would do this if
     there are negative values

Can you change the code? Well, yes, I am sure you can.
However, it will require you to become with some detailed aspects
of the graphics

Some numbers to chage

   xyMin = 0.
   xyOne = 1.00
   xyMax = 1.65

                                                                   ;
default "OBS" or "REF"
  ;rxy@tmXBLabels = (/"0.00","0.25","0.50","0.75","REF"
,"1.25","1.50"/)
   rxy@tmXBLabels = (/" ","0.25","0.50","0.75","REF"
,"1.25","1.50"/)
   if (rOpts .and. isatt(rOpts,"OneX") ) then ; eg:
rOpts@OneX="1.00"
      ;rxy@tmXBLabels =
(/"0.00","0.25","0.50","0.75",rOpts@OneX,"1.25","1.50"/)
       rxy@tmXBLabels = (/"
","0.25","0.50","0.75",rOpts@OneX,"1.25","1.50"/)
   end if

   rxy@tmXBMajorLengthF = 0.015 ; default=0.02 for a vpHeightF=0.6
   rxy@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = FontHeightF
   rxy@tmXBMinorOn = False
   rxy@trXMaxF = xyMax_Panel

   rxy@tmYLMode = "Manual"
   rxy@tmYLMinorOn = False
   rxy@tmYLMajorLengthF = rxy@tmXBMajorLengthF
   rxy@tmYLLabelFontHeightF = FontHeightF
   rxy@tmYLMode = "Explicit"
   rxy@tmYLValues = (/0.0, .25,0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.5/) ;
major tm
   rxy@tmYLLabels =
(/"0.00","0.25","0.50","0.75","1.00","1.25","1.50"/)
  ;rxy@tmYLLabels = (/"
","0.25","0.50","0.75","1.00","1.25","1.50"/)
