Re: How do I overlap legend over plot border

Please look at lg_10.ncl again. This example explains that you have to draw the plot twice in order to get the legend to cover up the grid lines. I think you are having the same issue with the tickmarks.

The tick marks always want to be drawn last, and we don't appear to have a "DrawOrder" resource to specify them to get drawn in an earlier phase.

Using lg_10.ncl as a guide, you will have to draw the plot once with the tick marks and legend turned on. Then draw the plot again with the tickmarks turned off (res@gsnTickMarksOn = False) but the legend still on. This way you get tickmarks, but the legend will be drawn on top of them.

We already have a trouble-ticket for this very issue (NCL-148), so I'll be sure to add your email to it.
