Jim, Thanks. I didn't think to add an option of flipping the barbs, but you're right, I should. I got bit by that quite a few years ago in senior synoptic, so I am oh so familiar with people being stickler's for it. I'll add the option, hopefully in time for the release. As far as basemap goes, it should play fine. Jeff's added a corresponding barbs method to basemap, so it should all just work. Now making it smart enough to flip just the barbs that are in the S. Hem. is going to take just a little bit of thought to get correct (without having *too* much more code.
