Re: using gsn_contour_shade

You also need to set mpOutlineOn to True and mpFillOn to False.

As you do not want to fill the map, and all you want is the map outline to be drawn last, try setting re@mpOutlineDrawOrder = "PostDraw".

I tried setting res@mpFillDrawOrder = "postDraw", but then the map elements cover up the shading that was drawn with gsn_contour_shade. I don't even necessarily want the map to be filled in, I just want to see the continental outlines. Any ideas? Just in case this matters, I am running NCL version 6.0.0.
