Grads code to plot discrete data on a map

[Charles Seman]

Alex,

Please find attached a script plot_hurricane_center3.gs (and called 
script function "pause.gsf") which is kind of a generic script to plot 
hurricane centers for a user-defined number of models (centers defined 
interactively using minimum sea-level pressure)... the script writes out 
the lon/lat points for each time level to an ASCII text file, and then 
reads them back in and does the plot... there are other scripts 
available, so please let me know if this is not what you need...

Hope this helps,
Chuck
