[gradsusr] custom shapefiles with shaded plots

[Yaqiang Wang]

I can't see your linked figure. I am thinking maybe your shapefile is
not polyline but polygon. If that is the point, you can convert your
polygon shapefile to polyline shapefile using a GIS software. or you
can convert the shapefile to GrADS map format using MeteoInfo.

With contourplot it's not a big issue, cause it only overrides the borders on certain places. I'm still using
