remove "Constant field. Value ="

[Stephen R McMillan]

I think this will also work:
'set clevs 0 [or any number]'

When you display constant-field variable, it should result in a blank map
with no message. Note: I'm using GrADS 1.8 (Win32e).

Re: remove "Constant field. Value ="





When I ran into this a while back, I found that it was sufficient to
change a single grid point by a small value, such as multiplying the
corner point by 1.001, to make the constant field message go away.

I mention this because it runs faster than computing a trig function
across the whole grid.  This is not important if you are generating only
a few frames.  Arindam's method is very elegant, occupying only one line
of code, and handling grids with distributed missing values.
