Hi Micah,
I'd like to add something to Adam's post, and that is that when you
call "gsn_text", the text gets drawn right at that time. This means
if you draw anything else afterwards, like by calling a gsn_csm_xxxx
plotting routine, then that plot will appear on top of your text.
So, you should make sure that your "gsn_text" call is after any drawing
calls that take place.
However, in order to call "gsn_text", you have to have already created
the plot, because "gsn_text" expects a plot id as one of its
arguments. So, if you are seeing the ocean fill *after* the text
fill, then you must be doing something like this:
res = True
res@gsnDraw = False
res@gsnFrame = False
...
plot = gsn_csm_xxxx(wks,data,res)
gsn_text(wks,plot,"text string",.5,.5,False)
draw(plot)
frame(wks)
If so, then just switch the draw and gsn_text calls:
plot = gsn_csm_xxxx(wks,data,res)
draw(plot)
gsn_text(wks,plot,"text string",.5,.5,False)
frame(wks)
If you are not calling "gsn_text", but are actually calling "gsn_add_text",
then Adam's solution should do it for you.
