<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thanks so much Mary! I did receive an email from Rick Brownrigg about an option for font size (excerpted below). I also forgot to note that I also have specified the “convert”
and “trim” flags but still have problems (line excerpted below). So, should I remove all the line copied below and just use the convert and trim flags? I don’t think that will do the trick because I think I start with just convert and trim and then found the
other options online to minimize the white space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">As you may know, there are 72 points per inch, so an 8pt font would be 8/72 = .1111 inches. However, font size in NCL is measured in NDC space, which is a unit square area mapped to the longest dimension of
your plot. So you'd need to know the size in inches of your plot to find the right factor. If for example you are plotting to PDF output on an 8"x11" page, then an inch in NDC space is 1/11 = .0909 ndc/in. So I get a font size of .1111 x .0909 about .01 ndc<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately there's no easy way to get a specific point size of text in NCL. This has been on our "to do" list for awhile, but it is not a trivial feature to implement.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Since I don't have experience with this, I'm CC ncl-talk to see if anybody out there has gotten creative with getting a specific point size of text on their NCL figures. I know some people have simply not drawn any text using NCL, and instead
use some post-processing program like Adobe Illustrator to add their own text at a specific font. You could even use PowerPoint to do something like this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As for the PNG to PDF, I would recommend using "convert" with the "-trim" option to post process the PNG or PDF images and trim off the white space. Please see our FAQ question on this:<o:p></o:p></p>

=====================================<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to generate a panel plot where the legends are not transparent and on top of grid lines. I found this example at the link included below. However, it is for a single figure and I cannot get it to work for the panel plotting. By trying to following
the NCL example, my legends just disappear. What should I alter in this example from the NCL website to get it to work for a panel plot that:<br>
1. NCL version: 6.2.1<br>
2. 2x3 panel<br>
3. Uses plot(iplot) = gsn_csm_xy(wks1,xplot,yplot,res)<br>
4. Uses gsn_panel(wks1,plot,(/row_plot,col_plot/),resB)<br>
5. GNU/Linux system<br>
<br>
