After some offline advice I tried <font face="Courier" class="">gsn_attach_plots</font> and <font face="Courier" class="">overlay</font><font class="">, but unfortunately neither worked.</font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">gsn_attach_plots</font> only plotted the charts connected along the X *or* Y axis, but not both at the same time (so that they would basically be on top of each other). o<font face="Courier" class="">verlay</font> only allowed me to overlay 2 plot, but I needed 3.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">My laborious solution was creating 3 sets of panel plot, one for each of the 3 variables, separately in NCL, and then layering them on top of each other in Photoshop and removing the white space in the plots so that the underlying layer becomes visible. I also rearranged the color bars and named them.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I attached a sample plot. If anyone knows how to automate all of this in NCL, I would be very grateful.</div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="">
