[gradsusr] How to fill background map

Tue Aug 14 08:38:02 EDT 2012

Dear Jeff,

I saw the website but unfortunately I got confused about how I can do that. In fact I have seen some images like the one which is attached to the email. In this map we can see lands in green color (with grads).

You mean that it is impossible to do so? If yes, could you please lead me more and explain in details to colorize the map?

Regards,

Tahereh

You know my map area is in the area with 80-120 in 1ongitude and 0-15 in latitude, the background map is some lands and water, after drawing some contours, the land is not very obvious and I would like to colorize the land to be seen. Could you please lead me with an example? Those commands should be written in where between other commands?
