Re: map error

Hi Michael,
I've been playing around with a version of your script that only draws a
map, and I got it so that the Wisconsin counties are drawn, and
everything else is masked via a mpFillDrawOrder "PostDraw" call. I'm not
sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but here it is:

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/gsun/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/gsun/gsn_csm.ncl"

begin
   wks = gsn_open_wks("ps",get_script_prefix_name())
   gsn_define_colormap(wks,"rainbow")

   res = True
   res_at_mpMinLatF = 40.
   res_at_mpMaxLatF = 50.
   res_at_mpMinLonF = 266
   res_at_mpMaxLonF = 276

   res_at_mpOutlineBoundarySets = "GeophysicalAndUSStates"
   res_at_mpGeophysicalLineThicknessF = 2.5
   res_at_mpDataBaseVersion = "Ncarg4_1"
   res_at_mpDataSetName = "Earth..2"

   res_at_mpOutlineOn = True
   res_at_mpOutlineSpecifiers = (/"Land","Wisconsin:counties"/)
   res_at_mpMaskOutlineSpecifiers = (/"water"/)
        
   res_at_mpFillAreaSpecifiers = (/"Land","Wisconsin:counties","Water"/)
   res_at_mpFillDrawOrder = "PostDraw"
   res_at_mpSpecifiedFillColors = (/"white","-1","white"/)
   res_at_mpUSStateLineThicknessF=2.5
   plot = gsn_csm_map_ce(wks,res)
end

Hope that helps..
Adam
