Gustavo,
I've attached a slightly modified script - edited for use on my system and also
to produce only a single image for testing - with the result attached.
I copied $GEMTBL/colors/coltbl.xwp_white to $GEMTBL/colors/coltbl.xwp prior to
running this script.
I believe the reason for your troubles stems from the control of $MAPFIL (note
the syntax for defining this variable in arg.sh - the leading $ but be
escaped!).
$MAPFIL which is a hidden variable for GEMPAK programs and requires explicit
definition each time you wish to use it different. Simply put, if you define
$MAPFIL in one script, GEMPAK programs will "remember" this definition in all
subsequent plots until $MAPFIL is redefined or reset to default ( hipowo.cia )
Give it a shot again on your end to confirm that $MAPFIL is being set correctly
and you should see the map boundaries displayed with correct colors.
Best,
Michael James
