check out the const function in the grads documentation.<BR>
it allows you to set a specific value/set of values to a constant value, i.e., in your case, set all undefined values to zero.<BR>
'd const(htsgwsfc,0,-u)'<BR>
<BR>
'htsgwsfc' is ocean wave height.<BR>
this would plot the variable 'htsgwsfc', and set all areas where 'htsgwsfc' to zero, near the coast or overland.<BR>Note that this fades the value to zero near the coast, so its not extremely accurate, since the values near the coast might actually be higher than shown when using the const function. Example: an area near the coast where the closest-defined value is '3'; the "nearest neighbor" value should also be '3', but the const function fades to zero near the coast, so the value might be plotted as '1', '2', or near '0' instead<BR>

hope this helps...<BR>
