[ncl-talk] How to shorten the distance between sub-plot without showing the tmYLLabels?

Hi Lin,
Please always include the ncl-talk list on any replies. That way others can
assist, and future users can see the email thread when searching for
answers on the NCL site.

As you are now setting gsnPanelScalePlotIndex = 1 and your x-axis labels
are now running off of the page, I would recommend setting resp at gsnPanelTop
= 0.9, as this will tell NCL to not draw the border of the top plot above
0.9 on the NDC grid in the vertical. (The y-axis NDC grid runs from 0 at
the bottom of the drawable page to 1 at the top.) You may need to modify
0.9 to a lower value. This additional resource should work.

If it doesn't, you mentioned that you turned to modifying gsnPanelXF after
my suggestion that you use the settings in gsnPanelDebug. A setting of -1
in the gsnPanelXF setting tells NCL to place the plot where it originally
was. So if you have 4 panels and set gsnPanelXF = (/-1,0.2,0.2,0.2/),  that
tells NCL to leave the first panel placement as is in the X-direction, but
start panels 2-4 at 0.2 NDC along the x-axis. (The x-axis NDC grid runs
from 0 at the left side of the drawable page to 1 at the right.)

All that being said, I think you meant to set gsnPanelYF, as you want to
alter the spacing in the Y-direction. My best guess as to what might work:
resp at gsnPanelYF = (/0.9,0.72,0.54,0.36,0.18/). This may take some trial and
error though.
