Hello everybody,
I have a simple problem with my Y-axis label. In my code, I locate the
problem by commenting "MY PROBLEM IS HERE" just for ease. I have also
attached pictures of what my current plot is (WRF Y-Axis.gif) and what I
want the y-axis to be (Ideal Y-Axis.gif).
I have an irregular y-axis issue. My file, "lidar_altitudes.txt", lists
irregularly-spaced height values that are representative of CALIPSO's range
gates. I would like for the y-axis on my WRF cross-section to be
representative of those height values.
However, I get the error message: "warning:trYCoordPoints is not a valid
resource in WRF Cross Section_contour at this time", and my plot remains
the same.
What am I missing? I have looked for additional resources, but none of
those offerings have helped.
Thank you much, my code is below.
Mike
