I am trying to make a plot of closed contours of the magnitude of the vector
difference between two deep-layer-mean wind fields, overlain with the direction
of the vector difference. I want to plot the direction only where the magnitude
is larger than a certain criterion. So far, I have:
'set csmooth on'
'set clevs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9'
'set ccols 4 5 3 10 7 12 8 2 6'
'd
mag(ave(ugrdprs.1,lev=850,lev=200)-ave(ugrdprs.2,lev=850,lev=200),ave(vgrdprs.1,lev=850,lev=200)-ave(vgrdprs.2,lev=850,lev=200))'
'set gxout stream'
'set cmin 1'
'd
ave(ugrdprs.1,lev=850,lev=200)-ave(ugrdprs.2,lev=850,lev=200);ave(vgrdprs.1,lev=850,lev=200)-ave(vgrdprs.2,lev=850,lev=200);mag(ave(ugrdprs.1,lev=850,lev=200)-ave(ugrdprs.2,lev=850,lev=200),ave(vgrdprs.1,lev=850,lev=200)-ave(vgrdprs.2,lev=850,lev=200))'
The first display does the contours, the second displays the direction in the
form of streamlines.
The problem is that the streamlines come out in a light gray color. I have
tried various forms of set clevs and set ccols to try to get the streamlines to
be darker, preferably black, but nothing seems to change them. Does anyone have
any idea how I can make the second 'display' command above make the output darker?
Thanks,
Sim
