    Hi Rick,<br>
    <br>
    After plotting all lines in the same call for each panel, and adding
    error bars via gsn_polyline, I was able to reduce the size the of ps
    file to &lt; 1 Mb. Lesson learned is to not use gsn_csm_xy for each
    line in the plot, but to take advantage of the multiple curves
    option and polyline function/procedure.<br>
    <br>

              I just ran it, assigning wks to "oldps". It created an 18
              Mb file.<br>
              They are just line plots, with lines being assigned "red",
              "blue", "black", "forestgreen". Maybe there's too much
              extra of plot axes, etc., since I'm plotting each line
              individually and plotting standard deviations individually
              too, instead of plotting all lines with one call. <br>
              <br>
              Do you agree? If so, then what's the best way to include
              the standard deviation lines?<br>

                          I have created a 12-panel plot, which looks
                          great for my paper, but is 28 Mb in size as a

                          script to make it smaller? The script is
                          attached.<br>
                          <br>
                          BTW, running ps2pdf afterwards converted the
                          ps file to a 5.4 Mb pdf file.<br>
