Dear Petros,

Please see the function "wmlabs" for drawing weather symbols using
NCL:

http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/wmlabs.html

Other weather map routines include:

    wmbarb - draws wind barbs
    wmdrft - draws weather fronts
    wmgetp - get control parameter values for wmxxx procedures
    wmsetp - sets control parameter values for wmxxxx procedures
    wmstnm - plots station model data

You can get to these via:

http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/NclFuncsAndProcsList.html#W

These symbols will be of the same quality you saw in the weather1 and
weather2 font tables. I'm not sure what you mean about them being low
quality. Could you elaborate on that?

Thanks,

--Mary
