Hi there!
I'm wondering if anybody has done Taylor diagrams in IDL before (see
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/taylor.shtml for examples how
they should look like). I've managed to plot them somehow, but some
parts are poorly hardcoded, like the isolines of the RMSE, especially
their intercept with the outermost line of standard deviation. I'm
quite sure that there *has* to be a way to do this with a more general
approach...?
Best regards,
Martin

Ah, that is one of those nifty new IDL 8 language enhancements, which
allows you to index arrays from the far end of the array. You can change
y[-1] to y[N_Elements(y)-1]. I thought I had found all of those. I'll
update the code now. Thanks for the heads-up.
Cheers,
David

Sorry to dredge up an old thread. I'm using this great routine now, but wondered if a negative correlation option is in the works? Unfortunately, some climate models perform very poorly for certain fields. Thanks!

Unfortunately, no, not without a financial commitment. It is either work
for free and be famous or find a job. Guess which my wife is urging me
to do. ;-)
Cheers,
