Re: overlay problem

I 've done as you said, and tail_prob does have coordinate info, but without res1@tfDoNDCOverlay, it still cannot be overlayed,

But the res1@tfDoNDCOverlay may generate a unreasonable result.

I noticed you have:

    plot1 = gsn_csm_contour(wks,gsn_add_cyclic_point(tail_prob), res1)

It is better to handle the cyclic point via the "gsnAddCyclic" resource:

   res1@gsnAddCyclic = True
   plot1 = gsn_csm_contour(wks,tail_prob, res1)

You may also need to comment out:

; res1@tfDoNDCOverlay = True

Does "tail_prob" contain any coordinate information?

   printVarSummary(tail_prob)

This could be the source of your problem if it doesn't.

Dear all:

      I wanna plot a kind of figs like contour on contour, example 4, but for a regional domain.

      And I find I can not overlay my significant level dots plots onto the base map(like fig1), but if I set "res1@tfDoNDCOverlay = True", it's

ok, but the edge of my plot lose some dots which definitely should be there(see fig2 right edge of my plot, a space which should not appear, I've

checked the data).
  
      So does anyone know how to solve this ?

      Thanks a lot!
