Re: plots multiple files

Hi Chris,

I think what might be happening is that "plot" gets clobbered the second time through the loop, which can cause your plots to disappear.

I recommend creating the "plot" variable outside the do loop, and making of size (/2,NumFiles/) so you can give each plot a unique id.

I've cleaned up your code and will attach it. It's untested, of course, but hopefully you'll see what I'm aiming for.

It's only when I incorporate the file loop that there's a problem with the other plots. What's strange is that even when running the loop, the first set of plots are fine. I've tried it now with both versions 5.2.1 and 6 of ncl and still get the same result, so I'm thinking that it more than likely is to do with the script itself. Has anyone else seen this before?

The first two plots from the first file display correctly, but in any subsequent file, the top plot fails to show the filled contour. The colour bar is present but the figure remains black and white. I'm not sure why this is happening, especially since it works for the first file in the loop. I've attached the file and any help would be appreciated.
