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>
