All grads users,
I am working on Uttar Pradesh use the data in .nc files. I want to show
Uttar Pradesh using Grads in India . Please guide me how to show it. I have
Uttar pradesh shapefiles also which I am using in ArcGIS if any idea to
import it in grads to show it in India.
    Thanks
   Narendra Sharma
