Re: simple plot

Hi Roni,

Take a look at:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Interfaces/gsn_xy.shtml

You can input 2 lines into gsn_xy by inputting the x and y arrays with
dimensions (2,ntim). For instance:

a = asciiread("file.asc",(/40,2/),"float")
x = new((/2,21/),"float") ; add cyclic pt
y = x
x(0,:19) = a(:19,0)
x(1,:19) = a(20:,0)
y(0,:19) = a(:19,1)
y(1,:19) = a(20:,0)

x(0,20) = x(0,0) ; add cyclic pt.
x(1,20) = x(1,0)
y(0,20) = y(0,0)
y(1,20) = y(1,0)

Notice I created new arrays x,y with sizes(2,21), so as to add a cyclic
point so that the circle completes itself.

To fill your circle, take a look at:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Interfaces/gsn_add_polygon.shtml

You should be able to pass in the same x,y arrays described above into
gsn_add_polygon, but don't forget to not advance the frame in the gsn_xy
plot call (res_at_gsnFrame = False)... After you call gsn_add_polygon, call
frame: frame(wks)
Good luck!
