how to plot tripolar grid

Dear all,

I want to plot the mesh of tripolar grid. This is a kind of non-uniform grid, its coordinates (latitude and longitude) are all 2-dimension arrays. I tried to use following scripts, but result is not as goog as I expect.

  1 load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
  2 load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
  3 ; ================================================;
  4 begin
  5 f = addfile("o2d.nc","r")
  6
  7 lat2d = f->yc_o
  8 lon2d = f->xc_o
  9 ;=================================================;
 10 ; Create plot
 11 ;=================================================;
 12 wks = gsn_open_wks("x11","grid") ; open a ps file
 13
 14 ores = True ; plots mods desired
 15 ores@gsnDraw = False ; don't draw yet
 16 ores@gsnFrame = False ; don't advance frame yet
 17
 18 ores@cnInfoLabelOn = False ; turn off info label
 19 ores@tiMainString = "The Grid" ; add title
 20
 21 ores@gsnMajorLatSpacing =10
 22 ores@gsnMajorLonSpacing =10
 23
 24 latplot = gsn_contour(wks,lat2d,ores) ; create lat contours
 25 lonplot = gsn_contour(wks,lon2d,ores) ; create lon contours
 26 overlay(latplot,lonplot) ; overlay on map
 27
 28 draw(latplot)
 29 frame(wks)
 30 end

When running the script, NCL gives some warnings, "gsnMajorLatSpacing is not a valid resource in grid_contour at this time". Then how to change the lat and lon spacing? Thank you!
