[GEMPAK #DTT-795941]: RE: graph-to-grid for RUC_20 grid working on futurama (fwd)

Jeff,

Looking at your VGF lines in white, it looks like you have line breaks in your
contours where the labels are. When generating a VGF for graph to grid, use the 
label "-n" setting in the LINE parameter to prevent line breaks. You would
want "-1" in your instance to label every contour line you specify without
breaking the contour line (eg, closed contours will be closed).

If this isn't your case, can you send me the settings you used with 
gdplot/gdplot2?
And, if all else fails, your vgf output.....
