This means that you might get some extra space on one or both axes if the actual range of the data is not "nice" numbers. </div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">For example, if your X axis goes from 1.1 to 9.5, then NCL may choose 1 for the minimum X value and 10 for the maximum X value. The data will be plotted correctly, regardless.</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">If you need to set the limits of your X axis, then use the trXMinF and trXMaxF resources:</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"> res@trXMinF = 1.1</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"> res@trXMaxF = 9.5</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">Or, use the data itself to determine the min and max:</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default"><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"> res@trXMinF = min(x)</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"> res@trXMaxF = max(x)</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">Where "x" is the first array being passed to gsn_csm_xy.</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">In your case, there's something strange going on with the X axis because there appears to be far too much white space on the X axis. I don't know what the cause of this is, but you need to look at your X array using printVarSummary and printMinMax to see what the range of this array is.</div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5973921512gmail_default" style="font-size:small;">Since you have time values on the X axis, uou might want to check out the user contributed function "time_axis_labels". This procedure gives you nice labels on a time axis.
