[gradsusr] Color bar

Tue Jun 19 09:16:00 EDT 2012

I'm sure what I'm doing is probably an obvious mistake to someone other than me but I still can't seem to get the color bar up.

ga-> set gxout shadedga-> set clevs 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18Number of clevs = 8 ga-> set ccols 9 14 11 13 10 12 2 6 4Number of ccols = 9ga-> set gxout contourga-> set ccolor 1ccolor = 1 ga-> set clevs 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18Number of clevs = 8 ga-> d wspdContouring at clevs =  4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18ga-> run cbarn.gs 0.8 0.0Error opening script file: cbarn.gsga-> run cbarn.gs

This work is for a masters thesis.

Thanks,

Emma.
