Re: plot station data and adding polygon from shape file

Hi Mark,
I can answer questions 2 and 3.. Someone else will have to chime in for
question #1... answers are below

Right now you are calling attach_shapefile_polyline to draw your
polylines. You are passing in the file, the workstation, the plot, and
the line_color. I would pass through a 5th array, a generic attribute
array (more complicated), or simply a float value denoting the line
thickness.
change this:
function attach_shapefile_polyline(f:file,wks,plot,line_color)
to this:
function attach_shapefile_polyline(f:file,wks,plot,line_color,lt)

change this:
lnres@gsLineThicknessF = 1.0
to this:
lnres@gsLineThicknessF = lt

and these:
map = attach_shapefile_polyline(f2,wks,map,"white")
map = attach_shapefile_polyline(f1,wks,map,"black")
to these:
map = attach_shapefile_polyline(f2,wks,map,"white",1.0)
map = attach_shapefile_polyline(f1,wks,map,"black",2.0)

You need to tell NCL to draw the mark points last. You can do that by
altering the draw order:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/draworder.shtml

Specifically, you want to set mkres@tfPolyDrawOrder = "PostDraw"
Hope that helps!
