Re: Un-masking for High/Low labels

Hi Mary (and list),

I was wondering if anything came of this issue/ticket with controlling the
masking of high/low labels, or if there is an efficient workaround (using a
single set of resource and a single call to gsn_csm_contour) for the
problem discussed here.
The only workaround I've found is to copy the contour's resources into a
new resource, turn lines off, and plot the high/low labels by themselves -
this works for now, but less than ideal.
Thanks for the update, if any.
