[gradsusr] Problem to plot a figure in GrAds from gaussian latitude grid

[Jose Augusto Paixão Veiga]

Yes Jeff.
I tried use a different number like 73.9480 and GrAds split it into 73 and .9480. So, I used 73.0 instead of the original value of 73.9475 (after your hint) and GrAds produced the values 73 and .0

I really don't know what could be happening.

Any other hint Jeff? 

Thanks,

José Augusto P. Veiga,

So, I decided to use the command q ctlinfo to get some information about the latitudes ingested by GrAds after I've been opened the CTL file. Them, I realize that GrAds "make" some confusing with one specific latitude point.   Pay attention,

When I change the value for the integer 73 everything goes well and the value is not shifted for the "center of figure". However I wouldn't like to to this all the time I face this.
