It is necessary to draw a plot first in order to establish the dimensions and scaling of the display. Shapefiles contain 2-dimensional spatial features, so your plot must be varying in the X-Y (lon/lat) domain."</span><div><div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Mar 28, 2010, at 4:52 AM, Piotr Djaków wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hello Jennifer!<div><br></div><div>I've try to draw shp file:</div><div>I created .ctl file from WRF model output, and:</div><div><br></div><div><div>ga-> open /model/out/test.ctl </div><div> Scanning description file: /model/out/test.ctl</div><div>Data file /model/out/test_%y4-%m2-%d2_%h2:%n2.dat is open as file 1</div><div>LON set to 13.7788 24.4777 </div><div>LAT set to 48.6077 55.0562 </div><div>LEV set to 1000 1000 </div> <div>Time values set: 2010:3:28:0 2010:3:28:0 </div><div>E set to 1 1 </div><div>ga-> draw shp /home/pdjakow/WRF/GrADS/data/waterways.shp</div><div>No scaling environment</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What i'm doing wrong?</div> <div><br></div><div>Best Regards</div><div>Piotr</div></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>--</div><div>Jennifer M.
