<div dir="ltr">Hello again Jovana, <div><br></div><div>After searching for quite a while, I came across this shapefile of global political boundaries: <a href="http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.zip">http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.zip</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are unfamiliar with how to use shapefiles within GrADS, here is some documentation: <a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomddrawshp.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomddrawshp.html</a> and <a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/shapefiles.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/shapefiles.html</a><br>
<br>For starters, I would recommend something as follows:</div><div><br></div><div>'set line 1 1 1'</div><div>'draw shp /directory/your/shapefile/is/in/name_of_shapefile.shp'</div><div><br></div><div>This will create a solid black line of thickness 1, which should work pretty good. You may also need to shut off mpdset via the command: 'mpdraw off'</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Jovana,<div><br></div><div>I think your best option would be to use shapefiles to plot countries, etc and not the default mpdset option within GrADS. I do not have any specific shapefiles for that area, or any links, but I am sure someone here will respond with some options for you. In the meantime, I'll look for some online just in case.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br><div> I am a new here, so I do not really know how this works, if I get it right, I should just pop the question here.<div>Well, before question, just little info I know the basics of GrADS, and that works fine for me, cause it's just one semester course at my university I work with GRIB1 (that also works just fine), and I don't know which version of GrADS I have (silent applause ). </div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Well, I am from Serbia, (if you are not familiar it's one of the countries created from Yugoslavia +5/6 more countries, we are in Europe, at Balkan peninsula), and when I use <b>mpdset mres </b>I get Yugoslavia, is there any more up to date map? (I know we are small, and mostly irrelevant, but Yugoslavia started to fall apart in early 90s) Or is there any chance to make map, putting some political maps like a layer or something like that.</div>
