<div dir="ltr">Thank you Jennifer for your useful response. My query is slight different. As I said I have rainfall data over India and I want to plot only for Maharashtra (whose shape file is with me) state. So how can I plot rainfall only for Maharashtra state while masking/discarding data over rest of the country. <br>

Then, after you have plotted your data, you can draw that single shape with the background color to cover the states that are not of interest. Use 'draw shape n' and do it one by one. --Jennifer<div>
