Re: Plotting land in oceanic plot

Hi Mary,

I am using the gsn_csm_contour_contour_function().

I am actually doing an black and white isobars plot of a variable of oceanic data. I need to color the land black. As of now its coming white.

If I insert a colormap into the plot and put cnFillOn to True then I can see the land as white and the colored parts as the ocean but that defeats the purpose of the black and white plot with isobars.

Best Regards,

If you are using one of the gsn_csm_xxx_map functions, you can try
setting:

   res_at_mpFillOn = True ; probably already the case
   res_at_mpLandFillColor = "black"
   res_at_mpOceanFillColor = "transparent" ; if you don't want ocean
fill
   res_at_mpFillDrawOrder = "PostDraw" ; May already be the case
