Re: Map tickmarks on regional cylindrical equidistant contour plot

I think the problem is coming from:
res@mpCenterLatF = 30.

If you comment it out, the plot looks like one would expect. Same if you set it to zero (the default value). I agree that setting it to 30 "makes sense" in this case and is the intuitive thing to do, especially when the code warns you in this case, if you do not set the mpCenterLon value.

Cheers,
Jatin.

They do not, however, correspond to the exact positions of the map gridlines, as the projection is curved over a plot of about 160 deg lon and 60 deg lat in extent. I have attached a simple script, which requires no external data files, and the resulting plot.

However, the add_map_tickmarks function does not apparently work on cylindrical equidistant (the default) maps. Any ideas for placing the tickmarks correctly, so that a plot with gridlines will have tickmarks in the right place, as per the result of mptick_9.ncl for a different map projection?
