markers on paneled plots

Hi there,

I've been working on a somewhat complicated plot to compare model
results from two simulations to aircraft observations.

The steps of the script are to
1. read aircraft data -- I use ncl/6.2.0 to read icartt files
2. read model results from two simulations
3. contour and plot model results
4. add polymarkers of aircraft data
5. panel the two plots
6. calculate difference of two model simulations
7. add difference plot as 3rd plot of frame

In the past, I have successfully plotted aircraft data onto model
results for a single plot (e.g.
/glade/p/mmm/barthm/NCL/DC3/CO_1.5km_obs_05-29_YSUctrl.ps ) and I like
the result.

For the panel plot, I followed
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/polyg_9.ncl as an example.

It's important for my markers to have both a color fill and a black
outline of the markers (as shown in CO_1.5km_obs_05-29_YSUctrl.ps). So,
I plot first MarkerStyle=16 and vary the color and then MarkerStyle=4.
like is done in newcolor_4.ncl . For the panel plot, I get only the open
circles plotted (i.e. the second gsn_add_polymarker call).

How can I get both color fill and open circles onto the paneled plot?

I would also like to get the aircraft data on both the first two plots.
Can I simply add a gsn_add_polymarker call pointing to the second plot,
or do I need to use different resources, or put in another loop?

My script is: /glade/p/mmm/barthm/NCL/DC3/var_compare2sims_obs.ncl

and the current output is: VARgas_ctrl_aqmeii_05-29.ps in the same directory

Thanks for any help,
Mary
