Re: map tickmarker without E&W

Hi Yongzuo,

There's no "automatic" way to remove the E and W from the polar labels. Instead of using this function, you might want to look at our radar examples page, especially example #3:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/radar.shtml

If you really want to stick with using gsn_csm_contour_map_polar, you can easily change the code yourself to remove those two labels.

I did this for you by editing gsn_csm.ncl and changing the two lines:

        labels(indexes) = floattoint(plon(indexes)) + "E"
        labels(indexes) = floattoint(360-plon(indexes)) + "W"

to:

        labels(indexes) = floattoint(plon(indexes))
        labels(indexes) = floattoint(360-plon(indexes))

See attached "mappolar.ncl" script, and the modified gsn_csm_map_polar function which is in gsn_csm_map_polar_mine.ncl.
