[ncl-talk] Panel Plot Bottom Row Narrower than the rest

[Parish, Helen]

Unfortunately setting resP at gsnPanelScalePlotIndex to 6 or 7 does not seem to work in this case. The result is that the earlier plots in the second column have their y-axis labels cut off, but the last 2 plots still remain the same size. In this particular case, the last 2 plots do not differ in the size of their y-axis text, as in example panel_24.ncl, but in the fact that they actually have x-axis text and labels whilst the earlier plots do not have any x-axis text or labels at all. Perhaps this makes a difference ?.

I am attaching the new plot generated and the modified script.

Any ideas what to do here ?.

Thanks,
Helen.

Helen,

The issue here appears to be with paneling plots that are different sizes.  The plots on the bottom are larger than the other plots, because they contain labels on the bottom axis.

If you have plots that are larger than the top leftmost plot, then you need to tell the gsn_panel routine to base the scaling of each plot on the plot that's the largest (the default is to base it on the first plot).

Do by by setting resP at gsnPanelScalePlotIndex to 6 or 7 to indicate that the scaling of each plot should be based on plot # 6 or #7, and not plot #0.

For an example of this, see panel_24.ncl at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex24

As a side, your main title is quite large.  You may want to resize it by setting resP at txFontHeightF to something smaller, like 0.03 or smaller.

Does anyone know how to prevent the bottom row of a panel plot from being narrower than the other rows ?. In this kind of panel plot only the bottom row has axis labels and x-axis titles. However, I do not see why this should make the bottom row narrower. Does anyone know how to correct this ?.

I enclose a copy of the NCL script and the image it produces.

Thanks,
Helen.
