In general, I suggest not setting the gsnPanelBottom/Top/Left/Right resources, unless you need to for other reasons, like doing multiple panels on one page.</li></ul><div><p>See the modified script, which uses dummy data, and the attached PNG images (both non-trimmed and trimmed), which I generated by using a value of 1.0 for the "WhiteSpacePercent" resources, and by doing a "convert -trim" after the image was created.
