Pete, Yes, tmpc/dwpc are the only parameters that make since to plot on the skew-t/stuve diagrams. As from the "phelp gdprof" output: The vertical coordinate, set in GVCORD, can be PRES, THTA, or HGHT. The vertical axis type, set in PTYPE, can be LIN, LOG, KAP, or SKEW. Only temperatures vs. pressure may be plotted on a skew t plot. The height-to-width ratio of the plot may be specified in PTYPE following a /. If no value is entered, a value of 0 will be used.
