[ncl-talk] labelbar on left side

[Mary Haley]

Hi Dave,

Sorry this is so confusing.  The gsn_csm_xxxx contouring scripts are set up
to put the labelbar on the right side, and they unfortunately don't
recognize a setting of "pmLabelBarSide" of "Left".

You can set the pmLabelBarOrthogonalPosF resource to move it over.  Try a
value of -1.2 (-1.0 puts it on the left side of the plot, and values
slightly smaller will push it outside the plot).

You can also see example lb_21.ncl, which I just created for this purpose,
