I'm assuming you are refering to drawing the line in GEMPAK. You can use gpanot, such as: GDFILE = SATFIL = RADFIL = PROJ = lcc GAREA = uslcc PANEL = 0 DEVICE = xw CLEAR = n SHAPE = line INFO = 1 LOCI = #30;-115/40;-77 LINE = 5 CTYPE = c GEMPAK-GPANOT> The above will draw a line from 30N 115W to 40N 77W.
