[gradsusr] Help to draw the Domain area in the plot

Mon Aug 29 18:34:46 EDT 2016

Dear Muhammadn,

I think there is something wrong with your shapefile.
I tried to use the shapefile from the link that I sent you before.

http://www.diva-gis.org/datadown
Use the *LKA_adm2.shp*

And it's working.See the attached file.
