<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks very much for your response. What I’m trying to do is overlay some weather forecasting model data onto google maps. Ideally, it needs to be KML or something which can easily be converted. Unfortunately,
when I attempted to draw the filled polygons (by adding ‘set shpopts 15’) it didn’t affect the end result and I still had the vertical lines. Is this related to me specifying KML output rather than a shapefile?

<p class="MsoNormal">GrADS doesn’t handle drawing polygons with holes, so it doesn’t create them that way either. The vertical lines are an artifact of cutting the donuts in pieces in order to eliminate the holes. You have to draw them filled and outlined with
the same color — then you cannot see those vertical lines and the shaded contours look normal.<o:p></o:p></p>
