Re: Multiple plot file name versus single resource file name

I believe you can accomplish this by using the PDF workstation
resource, wkPDFFileName. Below is a short example. You have to be sure
to delete the workstation before you open the next one up again,
because this effectively closes the workstation.

--Mary

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"

begin
   y = (/0.,0.71,1.,0.7,0.002,-0.71,-1.,-0.71,-0.003/)

   pdf_filenames = (/"one.pdf","two.pdf","three.pdf","four.pdf"/)
   type = "pdf"

   do i=0,dimsizes(pdf_filenames)-1
     x = (i+1.)*5. + ispan(1,9,1)

     type_at_wkPDFFileName = pdf_filenames(i)
     wks = gsn_open_wks(type,"test") ; Use the same "test.res"
resource file for each PDF file.

     plot = gsn_csm_xy(wks,x,y,False) ; Draw an XY plot with 1
curve.
     delete(wks)
   end do
end
