Example from the web:
;----------------------------------------------------------------- ; NCL User Guide Example: NUG_bar_chart.ncl ; ; KMF 30.10.14 ;----------------------------------------------------------------- ; These load commands are not required in NCL versions 6.2.0 and later. load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl" load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl" begin low = 0.0 high = 1.0 n = 12 x = fspan(1.0, 12.0, n) y = random_uniform(low, high, n) wks = gsn_open_wks("png","NUG_bar_chart") res = True res@gsnXYBarChart = True res@gsnXYBarChartBarWidth = 0.3 res@gsnXYBarChartColors = "blue" res@trXMinF = 0.0 ;-- x-axis min value res@trXMaxF = 13.0 ;-- x-axis max value res@trYMinF = 0.0 ;-- y-axis min value res@trYMaxF = 1.0 ;-- y-axis max value res@tmXBMode = "Explicit" ;-- explicit labels res@tmXBValues = ispan(1,12,1) res@tmXBLabels = (/"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep", \ "Oct","Nov","Dec"/) res@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = 0.015 res@tiMainString = "NCL Doc Example: bar chart" plot = gsn_csm_xy(wks, x, y, res) end
