[ncl-talk] how to locate one table in the same frame with one plot

[Mary Haley]

Dear Yi Lu,

"gsn_table" is a procedure, not a function and it doesn't return a plot
object because it doesn't create a singe plot object.  Instead, it's just a
series of calls to draw text and filled cells on the workstation.

The "overlay" procedure is meant to be used for plots that share the same
data space. Since gsn_table doesn't really have the concept of a data space
(i.e, an X and Y axis), you can't overlay it on another plot object.

I suggest drawing your table using gsn_csm_blank_plot instead, and this way
the table will have an X and a Y axis.

See the table examples at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/table.shtml

and in particular look at examples table_4.ncl and table_6.ncl.

--Mary
