Dear NCL world
Could I have some help with putting the names of countries on a map.
I have figured out how to use the maponly commands to create a map of
west Africa and the borders of the countries within that region. I
would like to show that names of those countries as well.
How do you do this?
If it involves the commands below, how do you use them correctly?
res_at_mpDataBaseVersion = "Ncarg4_1"
res_at_mpDataSetName = "Earth..3"
Thank you,
Erik Noble
