Thanks Mary, that did the trick and in a LOT fewer lines than I'd
been playing around with. The new example is nice too. I know we
can't have examples for everything so I'm glad to see this one make
it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

the pmLabelBarOrthogonalPosF resource to move it over. Try a

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> I need to put a
vertical labelbar on the left side of a
gsn_csm_contour_map_polar plot and it's not proving to be
as straightforward as I'd hoped. I've managed to
customize lb_19.ncl to a point that seems promising (i.e.,
has the potential to work for my actual plot script) but
it seems rather clunky/fragile and I was hoping there'd be
something simpler. (I'm also aware that lb_19.ncl uses
gsn_csm_contour_map but am not seeing that difference as
part of the problem.)<br>
<br>
Note that I had the impression that setting pmLabelBarSide
to "Left" was all I needed to do, so that's more or less
where I started (inspired by both the Labelbar and
Paneling Examples) but it seems to be ignored (with no
error or warning messages). The attached example
indicates where I tried this.<br>
<br>
This is NCL 6.2.1 on OS X 10.9.5. I've attached the
customized script, a small data file and an example
figure.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
