Hi,

Sorry to make more noise today, but I have a humble documentation
suggestion for Ngl.wmstnm

http://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Functions/Ngl.wmstnm.shtml

It may be useful to emphasize the reversal of the x,y -> lat,lon arguments
to this function. Currently, it states:

" When plotting station model data over a map these coordinates should
   specify latitude and longitude values in degrees."

Maybe something could be added in bold like, ", please note the use of
that order." I got hung up for a while until I examined the examples and
noted that the function form was:

Ngl.wmstnm(wks, lat, lon, imdat)

It would be nice to perhaps also include "In order to plot over a map,
'Ngl.wmsetp("ezf",1)' must be set as well."

Hopefully this made some sense!

thanks,
   daryl
