You must have a "draw mark" command somewhere in your script that has a syntax error in it. You can use the grads documentation index to determine values of the various arguments to that function. I suspect you have an error in your x and y arguments in the function call. The x and y arguments need to be in real page units, not world coordinates. You'll need to use the 'query (position)' functions to translate between world coordinates, grid coordinates, and page coordinates. A commonly used one is 'q w2xy', which would convert world coordinates to real page coordinates.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">Jeff Duda<br></font></span></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 12:51 PM, Keren Rosado - NOAA Affiliate <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:keren.rosado@noaa.gov" target="_blank">keren.rosado@noaa.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>The text file is big but from what I can see is all numbers. <br><br> 11.228 -73.969 1<br> 13.983 5.299 1<br> 13.790 -14.934 1<br> 22.645 -51.073 1<br> 11.254 -73.973 1<br> 6.508 -61.990 1<br> 11.405 4.011 1<br> 29.012 -59.311 1<br> 11.262 -74.027 1<br> 10.631 -68.972 1<br> 11.270 -73.941 1<br> 11.341 -73.955 1<br> 11.295 -73.604 1<br> 11.269 -73.595 1<br> 11.231 -73.537 1<br> 11.254 -73.611 1<br><br><br></div>When I type "run <a href="http://namescript.gs" target="_blank">namescript.gs</a>" I get the following error:<br><br> DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW MARK marktype x y size<br>DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW MARK marktype x y size<br>DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW MARK marktype x y size<br>DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW MARK marktype x y size<br>DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW MARK marktype x y size<br>DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW MARK marktype x y size<br><div><div><br></div><div>But when I run the script line by line the first error I get is the one I send in the first email.<br></div><div><br><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><span><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">----<br>Keren Rosado<br>PhD Candidate/Howard University/NOAA EPP GRTSP Fellow<br>Intern/NOAA/NWS/NCEP/EMC <br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">5830 University Research CT</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Cubicle 2795</span><br><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">College Park, MD 20740</span><br><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Tel: </span><a href="tel:%28301%29-683-3763" value="+13016833763" target="_blank">(301)-683-3816</a><br>Cel: <span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><u style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="tel:%28407%29-621-1676" value="+14076211676" target="_blank">(407)-621-1676</a> </u><span style="background-color:rgb(243,243,243)"></span></span><br><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Email: <a href="mailto:Keren.Rosado@noaa.gov" target="_blank">Keren.Rosado@noaa.gov</a><a href="mailto:Bin.Liu@noaa.gov" target="_blank"></a></span></div></div></div></div></div></div>
