<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Hannah,<br></div>I created the CVDP and am quite happy that you find it useful in your work! (For those who are not aware the CVDP = the Climate Variability Diagnostics Package, an automated set of NCL scripts that provides quick look plots of the major modes of climate variability, trends, and other climate metrics in models and observations. Information and example graphics are available here:<br><a href="http://www2.cesm.ucar.edu/working-groups/cvcwg/cvdp">www2.cesm.ucar.edu/working-groups/cvcwg/cvdp</a>)<br><br></div>I am honestly a bit puzzled by the plot you attached, as it does not look like a typical CVDP-generated plot. I do not alter the color (black) nor the thickness (2) of the axes of the spectra plots in the code. A typical spectra plot output by the CVDP can be seen here:<br><a href="http://webext.cgd.ucar.edu/Multi-Case/CVDP_ex/CESM_comparison/nino34.powspec.png">http://webext.cgd.ucar.edu/Multi-Case/CVDP_ex/CESM_comparison/nino34.powspec.png</a><br></div><div><br></div>If you want to alter the color of the tick mark borders you can set tmBorderLineColor. The border thickness is controlled by tmBorderThicknessF. Those two resources are documented at the top of the page here:<br><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/tm.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/tm.shtml</a><br><br>Note that you can increase the resolution of the output png files by
setting the png_scale option in driver.ncl accordingly. Increasing this
setting can provide higher resolution plots that are quite suitable for
powerpoint presentations. <br><br>As an aside, if you are not running the newest version of the CVDP (v3.7.0), I would highly recommend you upgrade.<br><br></div>Finally, if you'd like me to look at your driver.ncl script I would be happy to do so. And if you have any suggestions on how to improve the CVDP I'd be very interested to hear them.<br></div><div>Best regards,<br></div>Adam<br><div><div><div><br><div><br><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 7:23 AM, Hannah Christensen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:h.m.christensen@atm.ox.ac.uk" target="_blank">h.m.christensen@atm.ox.ac.uk</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">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I would like to know what the ncl commands are for controlling axes properties such as colour and thickness (i.e. boldness) of the axes lines, tick marks etc.</div><div><br></div><div>I am using the (excellent) CVDP for my analysis, and am just slightly modifying the code such that the figures it produces are easier to see in powerpoint presentations.
