Re: format of the coordinate

Hi Yonghui,
There's a few different ways to do it.
The easiest:
res@tmXBFormat = "f"
This essentially tells NCL to not draw any unnecessary 0's.

You can also set tmXBPrecision = 1, or explicitly set the XBLabels by
setting tmXBMode = "Explicit". Both of these methods are detailed on the
website here:

See examples 2 and 4..
Hope that helps!
