Re: Problems of tick mark for the plots with wrfout files

You have limited control over map tickmarks.

First, you don't want to use "wrf_mapres_c" as this is out-of-date.
Use wrf_map_resources instead.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/WRF_arw/wrf_map_resources.shtml

If you need more control over your map tickmarks, please see the
examples at:

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

In particular, look at mptick_4.ncl and mptick_9.ncl
