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 < 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>

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>

<div>If your script does not make use of the newer
color model (ex: transparency or >256 colors,
per-contour map colortables, etc), then you
might have better luck using the original
postscript driver, which is accessed as "oldps".

<br>
I have created a 12-panel plot, which looks
great for my paper, but is 28 Mb in size as a
*ps file. Is there anything I can do in my ncl
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>
<br>
Thanks!<span><font color="#888888"><br>
