[gradsusr] Plotting shapefiles with varying colors

[Jennifer M Adams]

>From http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetshpopts.html

"When drawing shapefiles that contain polygons, the default behavior is to draw only the perimeter of each polygon element. Use the fillpoly option with set shpopts<http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradomdsetshpopts.html> to draw filled polygons and set the fill color. The polygon perimeters will also be drawn when the fillpoly option is used. The color, style, and thickness of the polygon perimeters are controlled by the set line<http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetline.html> command.”

Hi,

At this website,

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge2/shapefiles/

is a "current_warnings" shapefile that has tornado, flash flood, and severe thunderstorm warning polygons.  I'd like to plot each of the three warnings with different colors, but I do not see how I can do that with the "draw shp" command (i.e., they all end up as the same color).  Does anyone have a way to do this?

Thanks,
