<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>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<br><br></div><div>That's rather small text!<br><br></div>(I hope there are no embarrassing math errors in there!)<br><br></div>Hope that helps...<br></div>Rick<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 8:23 AM, Matichuk, Rebecca <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Matichuk.Rebecca@epa.gov" target="_blank">Matichuk.Rebecca@epa.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
