Re: Question about overlaying WRF plot on non-WRF plot [Was: (no subject)]

Hi Mary, Thanks, that was it. Sorry about the no subject line. I'm not getting labels on the plots, when I overlay plots, I'm guessing the labels need to be on the top layer? I actually put the label on both layers, but its not displayed. I'll keep trying, maybe some of the text functions?

This is because usually you call wrf_vector as a precursor to calling wrf_map_overlays, which then does have the correct map information. In order to get the overlay right, you need set some special vector resources for defining the lat/lon grid for the vector plot. Try this, and let me know if it doesn't work: wrflat = wrf_user_getvar(wf,"XLAT",0) wrflon = wrf_user_getvar(wf,"XLONG",0) . . . opts@vfXArray = wrflon opts@vfYArray = wrflat vector = wrf_vector(wf,wks,u_plane(wtm,lv,:,:),v_plane(wtm,lv,:,:),opts) --Mary
