Thanks for the help Adam but I've found a new problem. I'm trying to make
contour plot with the Canadian North shaded. I can produce the map fine
until I add the contour fill. Is there a way to have the shaded land area
show up through a filled contour plot?
Thanks for the help,
Alex

Hi Alex,
To add a single color to your working colormap use NhlNewColor:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/NhlNewColor.shtml
and to use a gray set each numerical input to the same value between 0
and 1.0. for example: newcolor = NhlNewColor(wks,.75,.75,.75)
The closer to 1.0 you get the lighter the gray.
To select specific areas to fill is a bit more complicated. I took a bit
from a few examples found on the maps only Applications page:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/maponly.shtml
and I attached it and the corresponding plot here. Basically I outline
every Canadian area (by setting mpOutlineSpecifiers), but only gray fill
the Northwest Territories (by setting mpFillAreaSpecifiers and
mpSpecifiedFillColors).
Let us know if you have any questions about what I did...
Adam
