[ncl-talk] legend

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

I now understand what you are saying. I'm not expert at this, but I wonder
if pmLegendWidthF is the resource you need (http://ncl.ucar.edu/Document/
Graphics/Resources/pm.shtml). There are several examples that explicitly
set this at:

    http://ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/legend.shtml

If that does not help, please reply back to ncl-talk, as perhaps others
with more experience can offer advise.

Rick
