[ncl-talk] Panel plot tickmarks and labelbars

[g.graffino at tim.it]

Thank you very much Adam, you found out the problem immediately.
Setting lbLabelFontHeightF = 0.02 everything works. I thought I played with every single resources before asking...
Anyway, thanks again.
Giorgio

Ogg: Re: [ncl-talk] Panel plot tickmarks and labelbars



Hi Giorgio,The only issue that I see in your script is that you are setting the label bar label font size to an extremely large value:res1 at lbLabelFontHeightF = 2.
res2 at lbLabelFontHeightF = 2.
res3 at lbLabelFontHeightF = 2.

Try setting each of those to something in the range of 0.020 and see if your labels show up. If they don't, let ncl-talk know.Adam

Dear NCL folks,
I'm trying to modify some properties of several panel plots.

I'd like to enlarge both tickmarks and labelbar fonts, but if I do it the labelbar covers much of the tickmarks. Moreover, if I try to move down the labelbar to show up the tickmarks, labels disapper. You can the results in the attached plot.
Looking for a solution, I found the panel plots example page (https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml). Example 20 looked promising, but playing with vpHeightF didn't do the trick.
Is there something I haven't try yet? Any help is appreciated. 

I copied and pasted the plot resources I employed, together with the plot instructions.

Thanks a lot.
Giorgio
