Re: fixed axis scale using gsn_csm_pres_hgt

Mary,

Thanks, it works on my plot.

I used overlay for the plot with the help of gsn_csm_pres_hgt
and gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector. However, everytime I
used gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector, it returned the following warning upon running
* NGDOTS -- **Warning***
* Log scaling or mirror-imaging have been requested via a SET
call;*
* NGDOTS accepts only GKS world coordinates.*

The above message did not appear if I commented the gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector
part.

Does it mean anything wrong in my script? Can I just ignore it?

Regards,
Samuel Leung
