<div dir="ltr">Hi Alex,<div>I believe you are running into a limitation of NCL's legend creation capabilities. You cannot lay the legend out the way you want to with a single gsn_create_legend call. I think the best thing to do would be to call gsn_create_legend for every "column" that you require (=3), similar to what was done in example #6 here:</div><div><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/unique.shtml#ex6">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/unique.shtml#ex6</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>This could potentially be automated either within your script or by creating your own function. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps!</div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 4:27 PM, Alex Schaefer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alexander.schaefer@mines.sdsmt.edu" target="_blank">alexander.schaefer@mines.sdsmt.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Rick,<div><br></div><div>The legend examples either offer horizontal lines with the different labels being stacked or vertical lines with the labels horizontally spread.
