Re: please help with color bar

Hi Hongyan,
No, there is no automatic way to do this. If you want to use all 200
colors from the BlAqGrYeOrReVi200 colormap, and you want the middle color
(representing -.01:.01) to be white, you will have to set that up
manually:

colors = new(201,integer)
colors(:99) = ispan(2,101,1)
colors(100) = 0 ; or -1 if you truly want transparent
colors(101:) = ispan(102,201,1)
res@cnFillColors = colors

You would also have to set cnLevels explicitly to whatever you'd like.
Finally, if you truly want to use all 200 colors in your labelbar, you're
probably going to want to set lbLabelStride = 10 (or somewhere > 10), as
this will reduce the number of label bar labels to every 10th label...
Hope that helps.. Adam
