<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div>I am creating a 4x4 tile of XY plots generated in NCL for use in a LaTeX figure (technically, a table inside a figure).<div><br></div><div>I require the figures to be of identical size. However, the fact that the Y-axis labels have different numbers of maximum digits between the two panels seems to be problematic in getting the figures to match in size.</div><div><br></div><div>I have attached two figures that highlight this problem. If I just leave NCL to generate the tickmarks as default, I get the figure where the XY boxes differ in size (when scaled to fit in the 4x4 table). This appears to occur because, for example, the Y axis in panel (a) has 2 digits while the Y axis in panel (c) has 4 digits.</div><div><br></div><div>If I manually override NCL's defaults such that the Y tickmark labels have matching a precision of 4 (set tiYAxisOffsetXF to False), the problem is (mostly) alleviated. However, this creates the problem of having extraneous decimal points instead of integer values in the labels.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there a way I can essentially "pad" the Y-axis label such that they take up the same size regardless of how many digits NCL actually prints? I have tried tiYAxisOffsetXF to try and force the white space to be controlled by the Y axis title, but apparently the NDC coordinates scale with number of Y-axis tickmark digits as well, so it doesn't solve the problem.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>-Colin</div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Colin M.
