Re: @gsFillOpacityF does not work

Dear Hongyan,

Not too long ago I implemented a gsnXYFillOpacities resources, but I didn't get around to putting it in V6.1.2.
See example newcolor_16.ncl at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/rgbacolor.shtml#ex16

To get the code necessary for using this resource, see this posting:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/talk_archives/2012/1940.html

The "fill.ncl" script is the main code, and the "gsn_csm_xy_mod.ncl" is the script
you need to load that modifies gsn_csm_xy to recognize this resource.

It will be available in V6.2.0.
