Re: Increase longitude extent for Hovmoeller plot

Adam, thanks for the response.

My dat array is dimensioned only for data present. {:lon1} and {lon2:}
are not within the range of the longitude coordinate array, therefore I
get subscripting errors with your method as shown. For this to work, it
seems that I would have to create a second, larger data array, then
somehow construct a "longer" longitude array, *then* copy the subarray
with the actual data.

In fact I have already started doing this. Since I'm trying to make the
code general purpose, this is messy. Is there a more direct way to tell
gsn_csm_hov to widen the range of displayed longitudes?
