[ncl-talk] change font size of the text on wind rose plot

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Sha,
Looking at:
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/wind_rose.ncl

I see that there are multiple places where the txFontHeightF is set, reset,
and scaled.
Here's what I recommend:
1) You can alter the font size of the % labels by setting the txFontHeightF
at line 364.

2) You can alter the font height of the mean values by changing the
txFontHeightF setting at line 377.

3) Add a txFontHeightF call at line 453:
   txRes at txFontHeightF     = 0.0140
   This will reset the txFontHeight values back to the way they were
originally so that your font changes do not alter any other text.

Hope that helps!
Adam
