Hi all,
I'm using pygrads for plotting maps from netcdf files.
I use the contourf method, but I'm not able to fill the region where there are
no value (there is the missing value -999) with a color. It seems to ignore
the set_bad method that I used to make the colormap.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.

Most likely, the issue is that set_bad is more for setting the color when encountering masked values (through masked arrays). As a quick and dirty way to deal with it, try setting that color through the set_under() method.
The correct way to do this is to use set_bad, but convert your numpy array that you are displaying into a masked array like so:
z_ma = np.ma.masked_array(z, mask=(z == -999))
and use contourf on z_ma.
Let us know how that works for you.
