This sets the percentage of white space between each plot, based on the width and height of the frame. The default is 5%. Setting these to 0 will make your plots almost touch.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">[2] Use a different configuration of plots, instead of 7 rows and 2 columns. You could try 4 rows and 4 columns, which will give you one row with fewer plots, but they will all be larger.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">[3] Don't set gsnPanelBottom or else set it to something smaller than 0.06. I think by setting it to 0.06 you are actually increasing the amount of white space for the labelbar, which decreases the white space for the plot area, hence making the plots smaller.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">[4] Turn off tickmarks and/and or tickmark labels for the inside sides of the plots, giving the plots room to grow a little. If you do this, you will likely need to set gsnPanelScalePlotIndex to be something other than plot #0. This tells gsn_panel which plot to base all the scaling on, and you usually want this to be one of your smaller plots.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I've attached a couple of scripts, based on "panel_28.ncl" on our panel examples page:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex28" target="_blank">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex28</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">(which I mostly used just to generate some dummy plots).</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The panel_28_orig.ncl script is very close to the script you attached, except it uses dummy data. I added a second call to panel the plots using a 4x4 PNG, which I attached.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The panel_28_ticks.ncl script is the same script, but with some tickmarks turned off, and more customization of the paneled plots, in order to make them larger.
