<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.

<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>
