Re: skew-t plot; 2 situations in one plot.

Hi again,
Thanks for the help! Some more questions appeared though;
For one of the situations, I am trying to move the vertical line upon
which the wind barbs are plotted to either the left or right. ie. I want
to make two "wind graphs". I tried to find some clues at line567 in
skewt_func.ncl but didn't succed.
Also, I am trying to plot the td and tc in some different colors for one
of the cases, to be able to tell the plots apart. I managed to draw the
wind barbs in different colors, but not the tc and td graphs.. I tried
with the following, also found in skewt_func.ncl:

  yp = skewty (p)
  xtc = skewtx (tc , yp) ; T-P plot
  gsOpts_at_gsLineColor = colTemperature
  gsn_polyline (wks,skewt_bkgd,xtc ,yp,gsOpts)

  xtdc = skewtx (tdc, yp) ;Dew Pt-P plot
  gsOpts_at_gsLineColor = colDewPt
  gsn_polyline (wks,skewt_bkgd,xtdc,yp,gsOpts)

..not sure if this is the right way to do it..
I get the following error if I try this:
fatal:Number of dimensions in parameter (0) of (skewtx) is (3), (1)
dimensions were expected
If this way should work, do you have any idea of how do describe tc as 1d?

Thank you!
