[gradsusr] Color Bar

[Jeffrey Duda]

Adam,
All you need to do is to manually create your color table using 'set clevs _
_ _ _' and 'set ccols _ _ _ _ _ ...' to set up your color table before you
plot TMPsfc.  If you're using the same color bar script that I use to plot
the color bar, it should know which colors are in your color table and plot
the color bar based on that.  It sounds to me like you are getting different
color bars because when you plot TMPsfc for the different seasons, Grads
automatically applies the rainbow of colors to the range of values you are
plotting, which change based on season.  See
http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/colorcontrol.html for more information.
