Colleagues
I have a rather simple question, I think. I have edited a map to be
large scale so the default tickmarks for lat and long are not where they
look tidy. So I want to set explicit tickmarks and have managed this
fine for the x-axis, but not the y-axis. Also, I'd prefer to have the
tickmarks that are currently on the upper x-axis actually appear on the
lower x-axis. My code snippet follows. Have I made a mistake with my use
of the tmYLeft resource?

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
begin
wks =
gsn_open_wks("pdf","../figures/map_changes_in_egg_distributions_by_decade_by_species")
; open a pdf file
; wks =
gsn_open_wks("x11","../figures/map_changes_in_egg_distributions_by_decade_by_species")
; open graph
res = True ; plot mods desired
; res@gsnMaximize = True ; make ps, pdf, eps, ..
large
res@gsnDraw = False
res@gsnFrame = False
res@mpOutlineOn = True ; turn on outline
res@mpFillOn = True ; map fill
res@mpMinLatF = 32 ; zoom in on map
res@mpMaxLatF = 35
res@mpMinLonF = -123.
res@mpMaxLonF = -117.
res@mpDataBaseVersion = "mediumres" ; select database
; add additional axis on top of plot
res@tmXUseBottom = False ; Keep top axis independent of bottom.
res@tmXTLabelsOn = True ; have tick mark labels
res@tmXTOn = True ; have tick marks
res@tmXTMode = "Explicit" ; label independently
res@tmXTValues = (/-117,-118,-119,-120,-121,-122,-123/)
res@tmXTLabels = (/"","118","","120W","","122",""/)
res@tmYLeft = False ; Keep top axis independent of bottom.
res@tmYTLabelsOn = True ; have tick mark labels
res@tmYTOn = True ; have tick marks
res@tmYTMode = "Explicit" ; label independently
res@tmYTValues = (/32,33,34,35/)
res@tmYTLabels = (/"32","33","34","35"/)
plot = gsn_csm_map_ce(wks,res) ; create map
