[gradsusr] Cannot contour grid - all undefined values

[Jeff Duda]

So you're doing this then?

'open (control_file).ctl'
'd temp'

And you get the error?

If so, then there could be an error in the way lats4d wrote the data to the
grib file you are using.  I've never used lats4d, but I have noticed
sometimes with GRIB files if you don't specify the dimensions correctly you
can get these problems.  What happens if you just do a wgrib -V on the data
file?
