Re: ploygon shapefile subset

Hi Jennifer,

The difference between the two functions is that gsn_add_shapefile_polygons() draws polygons specifically from a shapefile source, whereas gsn_add_polygon() is a generalized function with no assumption about where the geometry comes from; in this case it just happens to be a shapefile. gsn_add_polygon() will also be the only way to selectively color polygons as you want to do. It looks like your code is nearly correct -- what does your modified call to gsn_add_polygon() look like? Parameter 2 should be some plot object, such as the "map" object. It might help for us to see the new script.

FWIW…

In one of the simple shapefile examples it uses gsn_add_polygon and has the 5 arguments you suggested so I tried that too and received "fatal:Argument type mismatch on argument (2) of (gsn_add_polygon) can not coerce". I think I'm having trouble knowing the difference between gsn_add_polygon and the newer gsn_add_shapefile_polygons.

I've tried using examples from the website and the new one Mary just posted yesterday for subsetting polylines. I keep getting the bellow error.
