Re: isosurface plot problem

Gerry, I'm know I'm guessing on what you are trying to do.

I'm reading this (see quote or web page:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/int2p_n_Wrap.shtml),
and I don't think "depth"'s right-most dimension is the level.

"modelTemp" has the coordinates ordered as:
[time | 99] x [zlev | 22] x [latitude | 261] x [longitude | 401]

and this function wants (I think)
[time | 99] x [latitude | 261] x [longitude | 401] x [zlev | 22]

The same note applies to the depth and tlev vars.

isot = int2p_n_Wrap(modelTemp, depth, tlev, 0,1)
                        ^pin^ ^xin^ ^pout^

It looks like you have to reorder the dimensions, which requires that
all the dimensions be named. Ref:

In fact, they are from the "default" palette, and appear to start with index 4 (as per cnRes@gsnSpreadColorStart = 4), and are for the most part every other color from the palette, with a few exceptions. Its as though the palette is not getting set to what you specified. Are you getting any errors/warnings about that?
