[gradsusr] over plot sub region on global chart

[Wesley Ebisuzaki]

Bernd,

   Since both fields are in the same .ctl/.grb/.idx file, the OLR must 
have thesame grid as the T field.

   Edit the OLR field so that the grid points outside of the small box 
are "undefined".
The undefined points will then be transparent.

grib2: use wgrib2 and the "-undefine" option.
grib1: Use copygb to make a regional grid.  Use copygb to
recreate the global grid from the regional grid.  The points outside
the regional grid will be undefined.
