<div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt;">Dear Ramaphane, <br>As Muhammad has indicated, the script runs. BUT your Objective is to plot the station Locations on the map, with station names. If that is the <br>
case, you need to open a file (eg. open model.ctl) to set the environment (<span style="font-weight: bold;">so that you don't get the error massage of No scaling environment)</span> and display a variable. The trick I normally use so that I get a blank map is to set cmin a value higher than the maximum value of the variable (<span style="font-weight: bold;">there could be a better way of doing this, I hope somebody will point it out</span>). For example I set cmin 10 before diplaying pr variable in model.ctl.<br>
You also need to zoom in your domain using set lat and set lon. <br>See attached map(city.png) I have done with the script.<br> Hope this will help.<br><span></span><div> </div><div><div><div><b><i>===================================================</i></b></div>
