Example:
Solution:
To create nice looking black & white graphics you willprobably want to use some combination of

- contour lines
- patterns
The figure above was created with the following script:

Colors and patterns can be overlaid; patterns are transparent set data coads_climatology set reg/l=1:12/y=20s:30n/x=160e:70 set mode cal months ! Use a grayscale palette. fill/title="Sea Surface Temperature and Pressure"/pal=grayscale/lev=(16,32,1) sst[l=@ave] ! Tasteful use of contours to help interpret the levels of gray. contour/over/nolab/lev=(26) sst[l=@ave] ! Patterns can be used with any palette (black, white, gray) to overlay other data. fill/over/nolab/lev=(1000,1010,10)/pal=black/pat=angled_grid slp[l=@ave,y=20s:20n] label/user,202,8,-1,0,.15,@trSLP 1000 to 1010 mb fill/over/nolab/lev=(1020,1050,30)/pal=black/pat=large_grid slp[l=@ave,y=20n:60n] label/user,205,27,1,0,.15,@trSLP 1020 to 1050 mb
