Dear NCL folks,<br>I'm trying to modify some properties of several panel plots.<br><br>I'd like to enlarge both tickmarks and labelbar fonts, but if I do it the labelbar covers much of the tickmarks. Moreover, if I try to move down the labelbar to show up the tickmarks, labels disapper. You can the results in the attached plot.<br>Looking for a solution, I found the panel plots example page (https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml). Example 20 looked promising, but playing with vpHeightF didn't do the trick.<br>Is there something I haven't try yet? Any help is appreciated.<em> </em><a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/vp.shtml#vpHeightF"><em></em></a><br><br>I copied and pasted the plot resources I employed, together with the plot instructions.<br><br>Thanks a lot.<br>Giorgio<br><br>&nbsp;filename = "RegCM_PR_analysis"<br>&nbsp;type = "PNG"<br>&nbsp;wks = gsn_open_wks(type,filename)<br><br>&nbsp;res1@gsnAddCyclic = False<br>&nbsp;res1@gsnDraw = False<br>&nbsp;res1@gsnFrame = False<br>&nbsp;res1@gsnLeftString = ""<br>&nbsp;res1@gsnCenterString = ""<br>&nbsp;res1@gsnRightString = "" <br>&nbsp;res1@cnLineLabelsOn = False<br>&nbsp;res1@cnLinesOn = False<br>&nbsp;res1@cnFillOn = True<br>&nbsp;res1@cnInfoLabelOn = False&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ; Turn off plot info<br>&nbsp;res1@cnLevelSelectionMode = "ExplicitLevels"<br>&nbsp;res1@cnLevels = (/1,2,4,8,12,16,24/)<br>&nbsp;res1@cnFillPalette = "MPL_BuGn"<br>&nbsp;res1@cnFillDrawOrder = "Draw"&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res1@cnFillMode = "RasterFill"<br>&nbsp;res1@lbLabelBarOn = True<br>&nbsp;res1@lbLabelPosition = "Bottom"<br>&nbsp;res1@lbLabelFontHeightF = 2.<br>&nbsp;res1@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = 0.01 <br>&nbsp;res1@tmYLLabelFontHeightF = 0.01<br>&nbsp;res1@pmLabelBarOrthogonalPosF = 0.2<br>&nbsp;res1@mpFillOn = True<br>&nbsp;res1@mpOutlineOn = True<br>&nbsp;res1@mpLimitMode = "LatLon"<br>&nbsp;res1@mpMinLatF&nbsp;&nbsp; = min(lat)<br>&nbsp;res1@mpMinLonF&nbsp;&nbsp; = min(lon)<br>&nbsp;res1@mpMaxLatF&nbsp;&nbsp; = max(lat)<br>&nbsp;res1@mpMaxLonF&nbsp;&nbsp; = max(lon)<br>&nbsp;res1@mpCenterLonF = 179.625<br>&nbsp;res1@mpCenterLatF = 0.0<br>&nbsp;res1@sfXArray = lon&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res1@sfYArray = lat&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res2@gsnAddCyclic = False<br>&nbsp;res2@gsnDraw = False<br>&nbsp;res2@gsnFrame = False<br>&nbsp;res2@gsnLeftString = ""<br>&nbsp;res2@gsnCenterString = ""<br>&nbsp;res2@gsnRightString = "" <br>&nbsp;res2@cnLineLabelsOn = False<br>&nbsp;res2@cnLinesOn = False<br>&nbsp;res2@cnFillOn = True<br>&nbsp;res2@cnInfoLabelOn = False&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ; Turn off plot info<br>&nbsp;res2@cnLevelSelectionMode = "ExplicitLevels"<br>&nbsp;res2@cnLevels = (/1,2,4,8,12,16,24/)<br>&nbsp;res2@cnFillPalette = "MPL_BuGn" <br>&nbsp;res2@cnFillDrawOrder = "Draw"&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res2@cnFillMode = "RasterFill"<br>&nbsp;res2@lbLabelBarOn = True<br>&nbsp;res2@lbLabelPosition = "Bottom"<br>&nbsp;res2@lbLabelFontHeightF = 2.<br>&nbsp;res2@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = 0.01 <br>&nbsp;res2@tmYLLabelFontHeightF = 0.01<br>&nbsp;res2@mpFillOn = True<br>&nbsp;res2@mpOutlineOn = True<br>&nbsp;res2@mpLimitMode = "LatLon"<br>&nbsp;res2@mpMinLatF&nbsp;&nbsp; = min(lat)<br>&nbsp;res2@mpMinLonF&nbsp;&nbsp; = min(lon)<br>&nbsp;res2@mpMaxLatF&nbsp;&nbsp; = max(lat)<br>&nbsp;res2@mpMaxLonF&nbsp;&nbsp; = max(lon)<br>&nbsp;res2@mpCenterLonF = 179.625<br>&nbsp;res2@mpCenterLatF = 0.0<br>&nbsp;res2@sfXArray = lon&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res2@sfYArray = lat&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res3@gsnAddCyclic = False<br>&nbsp;res3@gsnDraw = False<br>&nbsp;res3@gsnFrame = False<br>&nbsp;res3@gsnLeftString = ""<br>&nbsp;res3@gsnCenterString = ""<br>&nbsp;res3@gsnRightString = "" <br>&nbsp;res3@cnLineLabelsOn = False<br>&nbsp;res3@cnLinesOn = False<br>&nbsp;res3@cnFillOn = True<br>&nbsp;res3@cnInfoLabelOn = False&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ; Turn off plot info<br>&nbsp;res3@cnLevelSelectionMode = "ExplicitLevels"<br>&nbsp;res3@cnLevels = (/-24,-16,-8,-4,-2,-1,1,2,4,8,16,24/)<br>&nbsp;res3@cnFillColors = (/45,50,55,60,65,0,0,0,75,85,95,105,115,125/)<br>&nbsp;res3@cnFillDrawOrder = "Draw"&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res3@cnFillMode = "RasterFill"<br>&nbsp;res3@lbLabelBarOn = True<br>&nbsp;res3@lbLabelPosition = "Bottom"<br>&nbsp;res3@lbLabelFontHeightF = 2.<br>&nbsp;res3@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = 0.01 <br>&nbsp;res3@tmYLLabelFontHeightF = 0.01<br>&nbsp;res3@mpFillOn = True<br>&nbsp;res3@mpOutlineOn = True<br>&nbsp;res3@mpLimitMode = "LatLon"<br>&nbsp;res3@mpMinLatF&nbsp;&nbsp; = min(lat)<br>&nbsp;res3@mpMinLonF&nbsp;&nbsp; = min(lon)<br>&nbsp;res3@mpMaxLatF&nbsp;&nbsp; = max(lat)<br>&nbsp;res3@mpMaxLonF&nbsp;&nbsp; = max(lon)<br>&nbsp;res3@mpCenterLonF = 179.625<br>&nbsp;res3@mpCenterLatF = 0.0<br>&nbsp;res3@sfXArray = lon&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;res3@sfYArray = lat&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;panel_res@gsnMaximize = True<br>&nbsp;panel_res@gsnPaperOrientation = "Landscape" <br>&nbsp;panel_res@gsnPanelFigureStrings = (/"Model","GPCP","Bias"/)<br>&nbsp;panel_res@gsnPanelFigure
