Re: Changing colors within a text string.

Hi Mary,

Yeah, I decided to do it the "hard" way. Scott Weese had coded up
something to do it this way. For those who are curious:

     txres = True
     txres@txFontHeightF = 19
     txres@txFontColor = "blue"
     gsn_text_ndc(wks,case_name,0.75,0.878,txres)

     txres = True
     txres@txFontHeightF = 19
     txres@txFontColor = "red"
     gsn_text_ndc(wks,comp_name,0.30,0.878,txres)

This places the two pieces of text just above the plots to the left and
right.
